I would suggest you look at the [PIVOT][1] statement, as this sort of thing is what it's there for, Here's an example of how it might look for you: First off, we set up a temporary table variable to hold your intermediate values - your source data declare @t table (account_id varchar(10), TransactionType char(2), Amount money, Account_Balance money) and now we populate that table (in this case with a couple of SELECT statements) insert into @t select '1017', 'CR', 4000, 721999 union all select '1017', 'DR', 2000, 721999 And now here's the good stuff: select Account_ID, [CR], [DR], Account_Balance FROM (SELECT Account_ID, TransactionType, Amount, Account_Balance FROM @t) AS Src PIVOT ( SUM(Amount) FOR TransactionType IN ([CR], [DR])) AS pvt edit - the bit you want to change to match your query is the Src table definition - so you need to substitute the parenthesised `SELECT Account_ID...FROM @t` statement, leaving the parentheses and the `AS Src` bits in place.
