Use unpivot to convert columns into rows

In a previous blog we converted rows into columns using pivot, now this time i needed to convert columns into rows. This was simply achieved using the unpivot functionality in sql server.

declare @tbl table(name varchar(50), amt1 numeric(12,2), 
    amt2 numeric(12,2))
    
insert into @tbl(name, amt1, amt2)values('ppv', 1, 3)
insert into @tbl(name, amt1, amt2)values('ppvs', 41, 43)

select * from @tbl 

select * from @tbl unpivot
 ([Amt] for Types in (amt1, amt2)) as unpv
