Thank You.

Your "sample data" and your desired output don't make any sense. It seems that your output has lots of information that isn't in your input. It breaks at random places. You are going to need to provide a lot more detailed information if you want help with this.

Hi Luis,

Quick question, are you using any function here?

SELECT *

FROM Delimited

CROSS APPLY dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(String, ',');

If yes, could you please post this function as well....

Thank you for your help!

Luis Cazares SSC Guru Points: 183706 More actions · Answer 5

I won't post the function because that would be too easy for you and you won't learn.:-)

However, I'll leave you a link to the article that explains how it works and has the code as well. It's a great article and I suggest you to read it, if you don't want to, you still have the option to just download the code.
