Here is how it can be done with PIVOT in SQL Server 2005:

SELECT [Product A],
[Product B],
[Product C]
FROM Products
PIVOT (SUM(RankID) FOR [Name] IN ([Product A],
[Product B],
[Product C])) AS P

I find the PIVOT syntax to be not so intuitive (unlike UNPIVOT which is
easier to use and understand).
