T-SQL : Pivot table without aggregate - tsql

Question

I am trying to understand how to pivot data within T-SQL but can't seem to get it working. I have the following table structure
+-------------------+-----------------------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------+-----------------------+
| TaskId | 12417 |
| TaskUid | XX00044497 |
| TaskDefId | 23 |
| TaskStatusId | 4 |
| Notes | |
| TaskActivityIndex | 0 |
| ModifiedBy | Orange |
| Modified | /Date(1554540200000)/ |
| CreatedBy | Apple |
| Created | /Date(2121212100000)/ |
| TaskPriorityId | 40 |
| OId | 2 |
+-------------------+-----------------------+
I want to pivot the name column to be columns expected output
+--------+------------------------+-----------+--------------+-------+-------------------+------------+-----------------------+-----------+-----------------------+----------------+-----+
| TASKID | TASKUID | TASKDEFID | TASKSTATUSID | NOTES | TASKACTIVITYINDEX | MODIFIEDBY | MODIFIED | CREATEDBY | CREATED | TASKPRIORITYID | OID |
+--------+------------------------+-----------+--------------+-------+-------------------+------------+-----------------------+-----------+-----------------------+----------------+-----+
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 12417 | XX00044497 | 23 | 4 | | 0 | Orange | /Date(1554540200000)/ | Apple | /Date(2121212100000)/ | 40 | 2 |
+--------+------------------------+-----------+--------------+-------+-------------------+------------+-----------------------+-----------+-----------------------+----------------+-----+
Is there an easy way of doing it? The columns are fixed (not dynamic).
Any help appreciated

Answer 1

Try this:
select * from yourtable
pivot
(
min(value)
for Name in ([TaskID],[TaskUID],[TaskDefID]......)
) as pivotable
You can also use case statements.
You must use the aggregate function in the pivot table.
