• There's an alternate method to UNPIVOT using CROSS APPLY, you could read about it on the following link to understand the code I'm posting.

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/CROSS+APPLY+VALUES+UNPIVOT/91234/

    SELECT itemNoAS Item,

    CatAS CatID,

    SubCatAS SubCatID

    FROM #Test

    CROSS APPLY( VALUES

    ( Cat1, SubCat11),

    ( Cat2, SubCat21),

    ( Cat3, SubCat31))x( Cat, SubCat)

    ORDER BY Cat, SubCat
