SQL Question

try this:

select a+val1 col from mytable
union
select a+val2 col from myTable

assuming they all are varchar

if not

select cast(a as varchar)+val1 col from mytable
union
select cast(a as varchar)+val2 col from myTable

what do you want to do if val1 and val2 is same for row 1?
if you want 2 values then use union all

select cast(a as varchar)+val1 col from mytable
union all
select cast(a as varchar)+val2 col from myTable

oops, you want to ignore nulls

select cast(a as varchar)+val1 col from mytable where val1 is not null
union all
select cast(a as varchar)+val2 col from myTable where val2 is not null

try:

select pcode + cast(val1 as nvarchar(10)) as mynewcolumn from mytesttable where val1 is not null
union
select pcode + cast(val2 as nvarchar(10)) as mynewcolumn from mytesttable where val2 is not null

Thanks for the replies, I forgot to mention that the number of columns is dynamic, can be anything up to 99 columns

up to 99 columns? give a sample for more than 2 columns...

something like this?

Pcode      Val1      Val2       Val3 ... Val99
A             1           2            NULL... 3
B             1           NULL      5......... 6
C             9           14          NULL... 1
