    I do not know how to post real table but I did the same case using .net in application (create a dataset and then looping in dataset).

    Now, I want to use store procedure to do it but I do not know how to do in SQL.

    You need to make a mental shift in how you think about data. Don't think about what you want to do to a single cell and instead think about what you want to do to a column.

    In .NET you would have to loop through this. In SQL you can update the entire dataset in a single step.

    I basically showed you exactly how to do this in SQL.
