Are you sure this is what you want? Since there are two columns you will have to either use a CASE or a select to facilitate calculating the values for each of the columns. SELECT gender, answer1_avg, answer2_avg FROM (SELECT DISTINCT gender FROM ...) gn LEFT JOIN (SELECT gender, answer1_avg FROM ...) ans1 USING (gender) LEFT JOIN (SELECT gender, answer2_avg FROM ...) ans2 USING (gender) You could also try learning "crosstab" from the "tablefunc" extension: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/tablefunc.html I do not see how a single "participant count" column will provide a meaningful piece of data...
