Answer 1

you can use either of the below
1. Using PIVOT operator
SELECT currcode,
currdesc,
Yr,
[01] AS Jan,
[02] AS Feb,
[03] AS Mar,
[11] AS Nov,
[12] AS Dec
FROM Table t
PIVOT (MAX(rate) FOR mth IN ([01],[02],[03],[04],..,[11],[12]))p
2. using classical cross tab logic
SELECT currcode,
currdesc,
yr,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '01' THEN rate END) AS Jan,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '02' THEN rate END) AS Feb,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '03' THEN rate END) AS Mar,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '11' THEN rate END) AS Nov,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '12' THEN rate END) AS Dec
FROM table
GROUP BY currcode,currdesc,yr

Thank u for helping. Your 2nd solution working great. But using Pivot table giving me 2 rows,
RMB CHINESE RENMINBI
2013 NULL
NULL NULL
0.206  NULL  NULL
RMB CHINESE RENMINBI
2013 NULL
NULL NULL
NULL  NULL
  0.207

Do you've any additional columns you've not shown in the post above?
to change NULLs to 0 use this
SELECT currcode,
currdesc,
yr,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '01' THEN rate ELSE 0.00 END) AS Jan,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '02' THEN rate ELSE 0.00 END) AS Feb,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '03' THEN rate ELSE 0.00 END) AS Mar,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '11' THEN rate ELSE 0.00 END) AS Nov,
MAX(CASE WHEN mth = '12' THEN rate ELSE 0.00 END) AS Dec
FROM table
GROUP BY currcode,currdesc,yr
