Hi Ajay, you can solved your problem using PIVOT Query in SQL For this you must have fix column means AP,MP, ect are fixed. Now I am assume your table just like table created by Senthilkumar( in above post). try.... SELECT * FROM (SELECT StateName, COUNT(*) AS [Count1] FROM States GROUP BY StateName ) ps PIVOT ( sum (Count1) FOR StateName IN ( [AP], [MP],[TN]) ) AS pvt please refer http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2008/06/07/sql-server-pivot-and-unpivot-table-examples/ hope this help.

CREATE TABLE States ( ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, StateName VARCHAR(100) ) INSERT INTO States(StateName) VALUES('TN') INSERT INTO States(StateName) VALUES('MP') INSERT INTO States(StateName) VALUES('AP') INSERT INTO States(StateName) VALUES('TN') INSERT INTO States(StateName) VALUES('MP') SELECT StateName, COUNT(*) AS [Count] FROM States GROUP BY StateName The result can be stored in the two way. One way is to create the another table to hold the query results. It will be stored permanently. CREATE TABLE StatesCount ( StateName VARCHAR(100), StateCount INT ) INSERT INTO StatesCount(StateName,StateCount) SELECT StateName, COUNT(*) AS [Count] FROM States GROUP BY StateName -- SELECT * FROM StatesCount The another way is you can hold the results in the temp table. If it is local temp table then only available to the current session. If it is global then available across all the session users in sql server. SELECT StateName, COUNT(*) AS [Count] INTO #tmpStateCount FROM States GROUP BY StateName --SELECT * FROM #tmpStateCount If it is helps you then please mark as accepted answer.
