T-sql to Concatenate the rows

  • Hello All,

    I am kind of new to T-SQL and I have a situation here. I have the below shown table structure (there is no Sr.NO column in the actual table, I added that column)

    Sr.No SkillWllfsh SkillVideo SkillCHSI SkillCHN SkillCDV SkillCCO SkillRpts

    1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0

    2 1 1 1 1 1 0 0

    3 1 1 1 1 1 0 0

    4 1 1 0 0 0 0 0

    5 1 1 0 1 1 0 0

    6 0 1 0 0 0 0 0

    below is the code we use for each column:

    SkillWllfsh w

    SkillVideo v

    SkillCHSI m

    SkillCHN n

    SkillCDV t

    SkillCCO c

    SkillRpts r

    and belwo is the output that I am looking for:

    Sr.No Skills

    1 w,v,m,n,t,c

    2 w,v,m,n,t

    3 w,v,m,n,t

    4 w,v

    5 w,v,n,t

    6 v

    Please let me knwo the T-SQL to get the above output

    Thanks in Advance

  • I had to build your code set but you this will give you the results your looking for though you may want to store your data in a different relational format to make data transformations like this more efficient.

    declare @Mytable as table(

    SrNO int identity(1,1),

    skillwllfsh int,

    skillvideo int,

    skillchsi int,

    skillchn int,

    skillcdv int,

    skillcco int,

    skillrpts int

    )

    insert into @Mytable (skillwllfsh, skillvideo, skillchsi, skillchn, skillcdv, skillcco, skillrpts) values

    (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0),

    (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0),

    (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0),

    (1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0),

    (1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0),

    (0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

    selectSrNO,

    substring(isnull(case when skillwllfsh = 1 then 'w,' else '' end +

    case when skillvideo = 1 then 'v,' else '' end +

    case when skillchsi = 1 then 'm,' else '' end +

    case when skillchn = 1 then 'n,' else '' end +

    case when skillcdv = 1 then 't,' else '' end +

    case when skillcco = 1 then 'c,' else '' end +

    case when skillrpts = 1 then 'r,' else '' end, '_'),1,

    len(isnull(case when skillwllfsh = 1 then 'w,' else '' end +

    case when skillvideo = 1 then 'v,' else '' end +

    case when skillchsi = 1 then 'm,' else '' end +

    case when skillchn = 1 then 'n,' else '' end +

    case when skillcdv = 1 then 't,' else '' end +

    case when skillcco = 1 then 'c,' else '' end +

    case when skillrpts = 1 then 'r,' else '' end, '_'))-1) as DesiredOutput

    from @Mytable

  • Thank you so much SQL Experts, that would be a gr8 help 🙂

  • Try this:

    declare @Mytable as table(

    SrNO int identity(1,1),

    skillwllfsh int,

    skillvideo int,

    skillchsi int,

    skillchn int,

    skillcdv int,

    skillcco int,

    skillrpts int

    )

    insert into @Mytable (skillwllfsh, skillvideo, skillchsi, skillchn, skillcdv, skillcco, skillrpts) values

    (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0),

    (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0),

    (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0),

    (1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0),

    (1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0),

    (0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

    declare @codes table

    ( colname varchar(100) , description varchar(100) )

    insert into @codes values

    ('SkillWllfsh','w' ),

    ('SkillVideo','v' ),

    ('SkillCHSI','m' ),

    ('SkillCHN','n' ),

    ('SkillCDV','t' ),

    ('SkillCCO','c' ),

    ('SkillRpts','r' )

    ; with unpivoted_data as

    (

    select *

    from @Mytable unpivot_source

    unpivot

    ( Vals for Cols IN ( skillwllfsh, skillvideo, skillchsi, skillchn, skillcdv, skillcco, skillrpts )) unpviot_hanlder

    where Vals <> 0

    ),

    codesandvalues as

    (

    select upvt.SrNO , cds.description

    from unpivoted_data upvt

    join @codes cds

    on upvt.Cols = cds.colname

    )

    select srno,

    STUFF ( ( SELECT ','+ description

    FROM codesandvalues innertbl

    WHERE innertbl.SrNO = outrtbl.SrNO

    FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE

    ).value('.','VARCHAR(MAX)') , 1,1,SPACE(0)) AS Concat_Values

    from codesandvalues outrtbl

    group by outrtbl.SrNO
