  I'm trying to figure out following situation

  I have table with data:

  ID QuestionNr Answer

  4376Q1Answer1_1

  4376Q2Answer1_2

  4376Q2Answer2_2

  I would like to have result like this:

  ID Q1 Q2 Q2

  4376Answer1 Answer1_2 Answer2_2

  I need to build this dynamically because i don't know how many columns i will get.

  I've tried pivot, cursor, temporary tables. Problem is that multiple answer will generate columns with the same name

  Thank You in advance for any example how to solve this problem.

  Have you read the 2 Cross-Tab articles linked in my signature? The second one discusses how to do a dynamic Cross-Tab/Pivot which is what you need.
