How to group all values by semicolon separated in SQL query - sql-server

Please help how to achieve data as per shown in attached image
Highlighted rows actually group on Item Number field
Thanks in advance

Following should work:
SELECT distinct ItemNumber,SUBSTRING(
(SELECT ';' + TotalItem+' x '+ItemName
FROM YourTable
where ItemNumber=c.ItemNumber
ORDER BY ItemNumber
FOR XML PATH('')),2,200000 ) AS NewDescription from YourTable c
GO

Here's one way:
SELECT
it.[Item Number]
, Values1 = STUFF(CAST((
SELECT [text()] = ', ' + CAST(it2.TotalItem AS varchar) + ' x ' + it2.ItemName
FROM dbo.Items it2
WHERE it2.[Item Number] = it.[Item Number]
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE) AS VARCHAR(100)), 1, 2, '')
FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT [Item Number]
FROM dbo.Items
) it

You could use STRING_AGG
SELECT [Item Number], STRING_AGG (CONCAT(TotalItem,'x',ItemName), ';') as tags
FROM dbo.TableName
GROUP BY [Item Number];

SELECT t2.ItemNumber ,
STUFF(( SELECT ',' + CAST(TotalItem AS VARCHAR) + ' x ' + ItemName
FROM #MyTable t1
WHERE t1.ItemNumber = t2.ItemNumber
FOR
XML PATH('')
), 1, 1, '') AS NewDescription
FROM #MyTable t2
GROUP BY t2.ItemNumber

Any way to remove duplicates to this "For XML Path" query?

I have the following query:
SELECT
p.ID,
p.DESCRIPTION,
STUFF((SELECT '; ' + col.CUST_ORDER_ID
FROM CUST_ORDER_LINE col
WHERE col.PART_ID = p.ID
ORDER BY col.CUST_ORDER_ID
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') [Customer Orders],
STUFF((SELECT '; ' + ql.QUOTE_ID
FROM QUOTE_LINE ql
WHERE ql.PART_ID = p.ID
ORDER BY ql.QUOTE_ID
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') As Quotes
FROM
PART p
GROUP BY
p.ID, p.DESCRIPTION
I end up with many duplicate "Customer Orders". I tried adding "DISTINCT" i.e. "Stuff((Select DISTINCT" but I get the error "ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified". There's already an "Order By col.CUST_ORDER_ID" in the statement so I guess I don't understand. Can anyone provide me with a suggestion and possibly and explanation? Using SQL Server 2012.
Select p.ID,
p.DESCRIPTION,
Stuff((Select distinct '; ' + col.CUST_ORDER_ID From CUST_ORDER_LINE col
Where col.PART_ID = p.ID Order By '; ' + col.CUST_ORDER_ID For Xml Path('')), 1, 1,
'') [Customer Orders],
Stuff((Select distinct '; ' + ql.QUOTE_ID From QUOTE_LINE ql
Where ql.PART_ID = p.ID Order By '; ' + ql.QUOTE_ID For Xml Path('')), 1, 1,
'') As Quotes
From PART p
Group By p.ID,
p.DESCRIPTION
Simpy use ';'+ use in order by column with distinct clause.order by column and selected column data must be same.

How to concatenate multiple rows into one based on id in sql server

Actually i have three columns. ID, MedID, Name. With my query i am getting a result look like the below.
ID MedID Name
1 101 TestData1
1 124 TestData2
Query
select
cmd.ID, mm.MedID,mm.Name as Name
from
tbl1 mm
inner join
tbl2 cmd on cmd.medID= mm.MedID
where
cmd.ID= 1
Actually i am expecting a result like the below
ID MedID Name
1 101,124 TestData1,TestData2
So, how can get a result like this, Where i need to do changes in my query?
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance !!!
Use STUFF and FOR XML PATH like this:
select id,
stuff((
select ',' + cast(MedId as varchar(30))
from t t1
where t1.id = t.id
order by MedID
for xml path('')
), 1, 1, '') MedID,
stuff((
select ',' + Name
from t t1
where t1.id = t.id
order by MedID
for xml path('')
), 1, 1, '') Name
from t
group by id;
Demo
DECLARE #TABLE TABLE (ID int, MedID varchar(10), Name varchar(10))
INSERT INTO #TABLE VALUES
(1, '101' , 'TestData1'),
(1, '124' , 'TestData2')
SELECT t.ID
, STUFF(( SELECT ', ' + MedID
FROM #TABLE
WHERE ID = t.ID
FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE)
.value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)'),1,2,'') AS MedID
, STUFF(( SELECT ', ' + Name
FROM #TABLE
WHERE ID = t.ID
FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE)
.value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)'),1,2,'') AS Name
FROM #TABLE t
GROUP BY t.ID

how to use order by clause using Stuff in sql

stuff(( select distinct ',',Convert(varchar(256),y.RoomPlanID)
from(
select x.RoomPlanID ,x.RoomPlanHierarchy from (select utblConfigDestRoomRates.RoomPlanID,utblMstRoomPlans.RoomPlanHierarchy
FROM utblConfigDestRoomRates inner
JOIN utblMstRoomPlans on utblConfigDestRoomRates.RoomPlanID=utblMstRoomPlans.RoomPlanId
WHERE PropertyTypeID=1
AND BusinessID='AAAA'
AND('25-Aug-2015' BETWEEN DateEffective AND DateEnd)
AND StarRank=3 group by RoomPlanHierarchy order by RoomPlanHierarchy asc
) x
--order by
-- x.RoomPlanHierarchy
)y
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '')
You can use ROW_NUMBER (Transact-SQL) function. I assume that order to x.RoomPlanHierarchy like this
stuff(( select distinct ',',Convert(varchar(256),y.RoomPlanID)
from(
select x.RoomPlanID ,x.RoomPlanHierarchy,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY x.RoomPlanHierarchy asc) AS Row from (select utblConfigDestRoomRates.RoomPlanID,utblMstRoomPlans.RoomPlanHierarchy
FROM utblConfigDestRoomRates inner
JOIN utblMstRoomPlans on utblConfigDestRoomRates.RoomPlanID=utblMstRoomPlans.RoomPlanId
WHERE PropertyTypeID=1
AND BusinessID='AAAA'
AND('25-Aug-2015' BETWEEN DateEffective AND DateEnd)
AND StarRank=3 group by RoomPlanHierarchy
) x
--order by
-- x.RoomPlanHierarchy
)y
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '')
--Format it in SQL
(
SELECT
stuff(
(
SELECT
'' + a.col_name ,
'' + Replace(CAST(a.pos as VARCHAR), a.pos, '') + '"'
FROM
(
SELECT
CAST (',' + db_column_name + ' AS "' + REPLACE(label_tag, '.', '_') AS nvarchar (4000) ) AS col_name,
row_number() over (partition BY RIGHT(entity, CHARINDEX('.', (REVERSE(entity)) ) - 1) ORDER BY db_column_name) AS pos
FROM
table1 AS ex
JOIN
table2 AS ef
ON
ef.col1 = ex.col1
WHERE
entity LIKE '%string%')a FOR xml path('')) , 1, 1, '' ) )

Comma separated results in SQL

I have the following code which will create a comma delimited list for my results:
DECLARE #listStr VARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT #listStr = COALESCE(#listStr+', ' ,'') + INSTITUTIONNAME
FROM EDUCATION
WHERE STUDENTNUMBER= '111'
SELECT #listStr
The problem is its creating one massive comma delimited line. I need it to return a comma separated list per row.
So if Simon has been part of 2 institutions, then i expect:
"INSTITUTION1, INSTITUTION2"
As i didnt supply a where clause i expect my results to show up like this for each row in the database.
Update (As suggested by #Aaron in the comment)
STRING_AGG is the preferred way of doing this in the modern versions of SQL Server (2017 or later). It also supports easy ordering.
SELECT
STUDENTNUMBER
, STRING_AGG(INSTITUTIONNAME, ', ') AS StringAggList
, STRING_AGG(INSTITUTIONNAME, ', ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY INSTITUTIONNAME DESC) AS StringAggListDesc
FROM Education E
GROUP BY E.STUDENTNUMBER;
Original Answer:
Use FOR XML PATH('') - which is converting the entries to a comma separated string and STUFF() -which is to trim the first comma- as follows Which gives you the same comma separated result
SELECT
STUFF((SELECT ',' + INSTITUTIONNAME
FROM EDUCATION EE
WHERE EE.STUDENTNUMBER = E.STUDENTNUMBER
ORDER BY sortOrder
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('text()[1]', 'nvarchar(max)')
, 1, LEN(','), '') AS XmlPathList
FROM EDUCATION E
GROUP BY E.STUDENTNUMBER
Here is the FIDDLE showing results for both STRING_AGG and FOR XML PATH('').
For Sql Server 2017 and later you can use the new STRING_AGG function
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/string-agg-transact-sql
The following example replaces null values with 'N/A' and returns the
names separated by commas in a single result cell.
SELECT STRING_AGG ( ISNULL(FirstName,'N/A'), ',') AS csv
FROM Person.Person;
Here is the result set.
John,N/A,Mike,Peter,N/A,N/A,Alice,Bob
Perhaps a more common use case is to group together and then aggregate, just like you would with SUM, COUNT or AVG.
SELECT a.articleId, title, STRING_AGG (tag, ',') AS tags
FROM dbo.Article AS a
LEFT JOIN dbo.ArticleTag AS t
ON a.ArticleId = t.ArticleId
GROUP BY a.articleId, title;
this works in sql server 2016
USE AdventureWorks
GO
DECLARE #listStr VARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT #listStr = COALESCE(#listStr+',' ,'') + Name
FROM Production.Product
SELECT #listStr
GO
If you're stuck with SQL Server <2017, you can use GroupConcat. The syntax and the performance is far better than the FOR XML PATH sollution.

Usage:
declare #liststr varchar(max)
select #liststr = dbo.group_concat_d(institutionname, ',')

group by studentnumber;

GroupConcat does not support ordering, though. You could use PIVOT, CTE's and windows functions if you need ordering:
drop table if exists #students;
create table #students (
name varchar(20),
institution varchar(20),
year int -- order by year
)
go
insert into #students(name, institution, year)
values
('Simon', 'INSTITUTION1', 2005),
('Simon', 'INSTITUTION2', 2008);
with cte as (
select name,
institution,
rn = row_number() over (partition by name order by year)
from #students
)

I just saw another question very similar to this!
Here is the canonical NORTHWIND (spelled just slightly different for some reason) database example.
SELECT *
FROM [NORTHWND].[dbo].[Products]
SELECT CategoryId,
MAX( CASE seq WHEN 1 THEN ProductName ELSE '' END ) + ', ' +
MAX( CASE seq WHEN 2 THEN ProductName ELSE '' END ) + ', ' +
MAX( CASE seq WHEN 3 THEN ProductName ELSE '' END ) + ', ' +
MAX( CASE seq WHEN 4 THEN ProductName ELSE '' END )
FROM ( SELECT p1.CategoryId, p1.ProductName,
( SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM NORTHWND.dbo.Products p2
WHERE p2.CategoryId = p1.CategoryId
AND p2.ProductName <= p1.ProductName )
FROM NORTHWND.dbo.Products p1 ) D ( CategoryId, ProductName, seq )
GROUP BY CategoryId ;

SQL FOR XML PATH list and COUNT

I have a table such as:
|Date |Name|
--------------------
|'20-May-2011'|Bob |
|'20-May-2011'|Fred|
|'20-May-2011'|Jim |
|'21-May-2011'|Bob |
|'21-May-2011'|Ed |
|'22-May-2011'|Bill|
I need a query to return:
|Date |Count|Names |
--------------------------------------
|'20-May-2011'| 3|'Bob, Fred, Jim'|
|'21-May-2011'| 2|'Bob, Ed' |
|'22-May-2011'| 1|'Bill' |
In other words, I want a list and a count of the names by date.
The best I can come up with is:
SELECT list.[Date], [Count], [Names]
FROM (
SELECT [Date],
STUFF((
SELECT ', ' + [Name]
FROM #table t2
WHERE t2.[Date] = t.[Date]
ORDER BY [Name]
FOR XML PATH('')
), 1, 2, '') AS [Names]
FROM #table t
GROUP BY [Date]
) [list]
INNER JOIN (
SELECT [Date],
COUNT(*) AS [Count]
FROM #table t
GROUP BY [Date]
) [count]
ON list.[Date] = count.[Date]
ORDER BY [Count] DESC, list.[Date]
Is there a more elegant query?
SELECT [Date],
COUNT(*) AS [Count],
STUFF((
SELECT ', ' + [Name]
FROM #table t2
WHERE t2.[Date] = t.[Date]
ORDER BY [Name]
FOR XML PATH('')
), 1, 2, '') AS [Names]
FROM #table t
GROUP BY [Date]
If you think that the Name column might contain <>'"& you should do like this instead:
SELECT [Date],
COUNT(*) AS [Count],
STUFF((
SELECT ', ' + [Name]
FROM #table t2
WHERE t2.[Date] = t.[Date]
ORDER BY [Name]
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'varchar(max)'), 1, 2, '') AS [Names]
FROM #table t
GROUP BY [Date]
Not a whole lot better - but maybe using a single CTE to "encapsulate" the XML-PATH-stuffing into a more presentable way would work??
;WITH ConsolidatedData AS
(
SELECT
[Date],
STUFF((
SELECT ', ' + [Name]
FROM #table t2
WHERE t2.[Date] = t.[Date]
ORDER BY [Name]
FOR XML PATH('')
), 1, 2, '') AS [Names]
FROM #table t
)
SELECT
[Date], Names, COUNT(*)
FROM
ConsolidatedData
GROUP BY
[Date], Names
Not sure if you'd count this as one "compound" statement, or two.... :-)
One word of advice: try not to use SQL Server identifiers and reserved words (like Date or Order) as your own column and/or table names.... it's always rather messy....
