You must instead define the output row as one group column (SERIAL_NUMBER) and N value columns (TEST_RESULT) all of the same type. For example with 2 value columns: AS concatenated ( SERIAL_NUMBER character varying(18), TEST_RESULT_1 NUMERIC, TEST_RESULT_2 NUMERIC ) The second column (TEST_NUMBER) of your query is ignored by crosstab() and only used to ensure that values in the same group are properly layed out in the output row. That is also explained with examples in the docs: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/tablefunc.html#TABLEFUNC-FUNCTIONS-CROSSTAB-TEXT -- Erik
