Your requirement isn't clear. Could you post example tables, data and expected results in a format that allows others to run it, helping others to help you.

An example of how to do this ishttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Best+Practices/61537/

Is theere any releationship between ProviderId, Address and City. If then use PIVOT

Where in the Sample Data does it show that the city is mapped to address 3??...What is the logic behind the city being mapped to Address 3 and not 1 or 2??

The Sample data is not very clear and you need to be more specific about your requirement and the Logic behind the requirement.

Please elaborate a little more on the requirement.

</Provider>

</XML>'

SELECT

dense_rank() OVER (ORDER BY C.value('local-name(.)', 'varchar(50)')) AS 'SN',

NodeName = C.value('local-name(.)', 'varchar(50)')

, NodeValue = C.value('(.)[1]', 'varchar(50)')

FROM @xml.nodes('/XML/Provider/*') AS T(C)
