>>I have a table that will have a variable number of records. This is a Bed table. The facility may have 1-30 (or more) beds. I am wanting to create a stored procedure that returns a table, with the beds as columns, and each row will represent a day. So when passed the date say of 5/1/2011, they query would return a recordset that had a column for the date and then 1 column for each bed.

Hi Boris,

George Mastros has a blog on Pivoting in SQL 2000, although not dynamic. It's easy to turn it to dynamic, of course:

BTW, the usual answer is to perform transformation on the client (in the Reporting tool), not in T-SQL.
