I have a table like

ID  Grps    Vals
--- ----    -----
1   1   1
1   1   3
1   1   45
1   2   23
1   2   34
1   2   66
1   3   10
1   3   17
1   3   77
2   1   144
2   1   344
2   1   555
2   2   11
2   2   22
2   2   33
2   3   55
2   3   67
2   3   77

The desired output being

ID  Record1     Record2     Record3
--- -------     -------     -------
1   1       23      10      
1   3       34      17      
1   45      66      77
2   144     11      55
2   344     22      67
2   555     33      77

I have tried(using while loop) but the program is running slow. I have been asked to do so by using SET based approach. My approach so far is

SELECT  ID,[1] AS [Record1], [2] AS [Record2], [3] as [Record3]
    FROM (  
    Select 
        Row_Number() Over(Partition By ID Order By Vals) records
        ,* 
        From myTable)x
    PIVOT
  (MAX(vals) FOR Grps IN ([1],[2],[3])) p

But it is not working.

Can any one please help to solve this.(SQL SERVER 2005)
