Use Excel or a reporting tool (like Reporting Services or Crystal Reports) for this kind of output formatting.

Or, you could do a cross-tab...

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
"Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".
