Trouble with Pivot table - sql

Question

First time posting. I am very new to pivot tables and have looked up several answers on how to create them, but I cant seem to get mine to work. Is a pivot table the correct way to go?
What I'm trying to do is take all the columns and make them rows and the rows become the columns. Basically turn the table 90 degrees. See Image.
Thanks

Base query
SELECT dbo.EstimateDetails.EstimateDetailID,
dbo.EstimateDetails.QtyOrdered,
dbo.EstimateDetails.NetPrice,
dbo.EstimateDetails.ExtendedPrice,
dbo.EstimateDetails.EstimateID,
dbo.UserDefined_Custom.UserDefined1,
dbo.UserDefined_Custom.UserDefined2,
dbo.EstimateDetails.OrdUOMID,
dbo.Estimate.EstimateNo,
dbo.EstimateDetails.[LineNo] AS Line
FROM dbo.EstimateDetails
INNER JOIN dbo.Estimate
ON dbo.EstimateDetails.EstimateID = dbo.Estimate.EstimateID
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.UserDefined_Custom
ON dbo.EstimateDetails.ItemSpecID = dbo.UserDefined_Custom.ItemSpecID
where dbo.EstimateDetails.EstimateID = 141865
Where I'm at now with no luck.
Results with Pivot attempt

You need a full transpose, so first unpivot then pivot. Note that you need to convert all columns to a common type.
I personally tend to prefer using CROSS APPLY instead of UNPIVOT, I find it much clearer.
You should also use aliases for tables, it makes the query much easier to write and read.
Select
Pvt.Col AS Line, Pvt.[1], Pvt.[2], Pvt.[3], Pvt.[4],Pvt.[5],Pvt.[6]
from (
SELECT
ed.[LineNo] AS Line,
Upvt.Col,
Upvt.value
FROM dbo.EstimateDetails AS ed
INNER JOIN dbo.Estimate AS e
ON ed.EstimateID = e.EstimateID
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.UserDefined_Custom AS udc
ON ed.ItemSpecID = udc.ItemSpecID
CROSS APPLY (
('EstimateDetailID', CAST(ed.EstimateDetailID AS varchar(50)),
('QtyOrdered', CAST(ed.QtyOrdered AS varchar(50)),
('NetPrice', CAST(ed.NetPrice AS varchar(50)),
('ExtendedPrice', CAST(ed.ExtendedPrice AS varchar(50)),
('EstimateID', CAST(ed.EstimateID AS varchar(50)),
('UserDefined1', CAST(udc.UserDefined1 AS varchar(50)),
('UserDefined2', CAST(udc.UserDefined2 AS varchar(50)),
('OrdUOMID', CAST(ed.OrdUOMID AS varchar(50)),
('EstimateNo', CAST(e.EstimateNo AS varchar(50))
) AS Upvt(Col, Value)
where ed.EstimateID = 141865
) AS Src
PIVOT
(
Max(Value)
for Line in ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6])
) AS Pvt
To be honest, looking at it now, I realize you really are just transposing it for display, so the column names don't really make sense (Line has the columna names in it for example). I'd advise you to do this in a client application, T-SQL is really not the place for this.
