The PIVOT relational operator explained here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410(v=sql.90).aspx[^] can be used for this purpose as shown below:

SQL

IF OBJECT_ID('Data','U') is NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE Data

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Data](
    [SlNum] [int] NULL,
    [Name] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

INSERT INTO Data(SlNum, Name)
VALUES(1, 'Mob1')
INSERT INTO Data(SlNum, Name)
VALUES(2, 'Mob2')
INSERT INTO Data(SlNum, Name)
VALUES(3, 'Mob3')
INSERT INTO Data(SlNum, Name)
VALUES(4, 'Mob4')
INSERT INTO Data(SlNum, Name)
VALUES(5, 'Mob5')

SELECT Mob1, Mob2, Mob3, Mob4, Mob5
FROM
    (SELECT SlNum, Name FROM Data) AS SourceTable
PIVOT
    (MIN(SlNum) FOR Name IN (Mob1, Mob2, Mob3, Mob4, Mob5)) AS PIVOTTABLE

--Output
--Mob1 Mob2 Mob3 Mob4 Mob5
-- 1	2    3    4    5

This works fine for dynamic data too..

SQL

Select my_Row1=max(isnull(case when rn=1 then mob_no end,'')),
my_Row2=max(isnull(case when rn=2 then mob_no end,'')),
my_Row3=max(isnull(case when rn=3 then mob_no end,'')),
my_Row4=max(isnull(case when rn=4 then mob_no end,'')),
my_Row5=max(isnull(case when rn=5 then mob_no end,'')) from (
Select top 5 RN=ROW_NUMBER () OVER (order by mob_no),mob_no from myDB..my_TABLE a with (nolock))j
