Answer : How to create a pivot table in SQL Server 2005

is status a char field ? remove it...
what are the column names of your numeric items?

yes there are pivot/unpivot  extensions to the select statement ...
however you need dynamic sql to use them...

my gut feel to that is to still use the technique i described above or this procedure...

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ce/techinfo/20bol.asp

EXEC sp_TRANSFORM 'SUM','PM_EmpAssignedID','vw_Loc_Pos_Dflt_Rem2','PM_PositionsID','Position'

IF OBJECT_ID('sp_Transform', 'P') IS NOT NULL
     DROP PROCEDURE sp_Transform
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_TRANSFORM
/*
   Purpose:     Creates a Pivot(tm) table for the specified table,
                view or select statement
   Author:      [email protected]
   Version:     1.1
   History:     march 2000 version 1.0
                july 2002  version 1.1

   Input parameters:
       @Aggregate_Function (optional)
            the aggregate function to use for the pivot
                default function is SUM
        @Aggregate_Column
                name of column for aggregate
        @TableOrView_Name
                name of table or view to use
                if name contains spaces or other special
                characters [] should be used
                Can also be a valid SELECT statement
        @Select_Column
                Column for first column in result table
                for this column row values are displayed
        @Pivot_Column
                Column that is transformed into columns
                for this column column values are displayed
     @DEBUG
          Set this flag to 1 to get debug-information
   
      Example usage:
        Table given   aTable
        content:      Product    Salesman    Sales
                      P1         Sa          12
                      P2         Sb          10
                      P2         Sb          3
                      P3         Sa          12
                      P1         Sc          8
                      P3         Sa          1
                      P2         Sa          NULL
     CALL
     EXEC sp_Transform 'SUM', 'Sales', 'aTable', 'Product', 'Salesman'
or      EXEC sp_Transform @Aggregate_Column='Sales', @TableOrViewName='aTable',
                            @Select_Column='Product', @Pivot_Column='Salesman'

Result:
        Product| Sa       | Sb       | Sc      | Total

        P1     | 12,00    |  0,00    |  8,00   |  20,00
