Question

I have a query that returns results like this:

     MyValue        MyGroup
_______________|_______________
       56      |      I
_______________|_______________
       12      |      I
_______________|_______________
       56      |      II
_______________|_______________
       12      |      II
_______________|_______________
       56      |      III
_______________|_______________
       56      |      IV
_______________|_______________
       56      |      V
_______________|_______________
       12      |      V
_______________|_______________

I need to convert that into something like this:

      ColA           ColB             ColC            ColD           Count
_______________|_______________|_______________|_______________|_______________
       12      |      56              null            null             3
_______________|_______________|_______________|_______________|_______________
       56      |      null            null            null             2
_______________|_______________|_______________|_______________|_______________

I know I could setup an iterator and go over all the rows of my table and construct this result.

But I think there is another, "set based" way. Maybe a "Cross Apply" or "Pivot".

But it does not matter how many times I read the docs or look at examples for those, I can't seem to wrap my head around them enough to write my own.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

NOTE: In case it matters, assume that my query to get the first results looks like this:

select MyValue, MyGroup
from SomeTable

(It is actually a complex set of CTE's but I can just add another layer if need be.)
