  Here's an example list. I need to exclude this MRN from my query because it contains the value 250.

  MRN ICD9Code

  123456 245

  123456 432

  123456 250

  123456 123

  the explanation may be overly simplified, but wouldn't a simple WHERE statement do what you are asking?

  SELECT *

  FROM YOURLIST

  WHERE ICD9Code <> 250

  or do you mean something like this:

  SELECT *

  FROM YOURLIST

  WHERE MRN NOT IN(SELECT MRN FROM YOURLIST

  WHERE ICD9Code = 250)

  Or perhaps this:

  SELECT

  FROM

  YOURLIST yl1

  WHERE

  NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM YOURLIST yl2 WHERE yl2.ICD9Code = 250 and yl2.MRN = yl1.MRN)

  Or even this

  SELECT *

  FROM YOURLIST Y

  LEFT JOIN YOURLIST as YL on YL.ICD9Code = 250

  WHERE YL.ICD9Code IS NULL
