Not working.

The Pivot inner query is incorrect

[VALUES] FOR ParameterName IN(SELECT * FROM @ValueHolder)) AS PivotTable;

As per MSDN definition

syntax should be 

...
PIVOT
(
    <aggregation function>(<column being aggregated>)
FOR
[<column that contains the values that will become column headers>]
    IN ( [first pivoted column], [second pivoted column],
    ... [last pivoted column])
) AS <alias for the pivot table>
<optional ORDER BY clause>;

Here IN clause requires specified column names and will not accept SELECT * expression supported by IN in WHERE clause.

You should consider using dynamic PIVOT syntax. See an example here

  • In my case, no. of column is not fixed. so how to pivot? – SamStha Jun 15 '18 at 09:19
  • @SamStha I suggest you post a new question after trying out dynamic pivot [http://crispycrappy.blogspot.com/2013/12/dynamic-sql-pivot.html] syntax. You'd need to tell more about `@valueholder` variable. – DhruvJoshi Jun 15 '18 at 09:32
