I need to get different row data to 1 row based with id and need to group by its status.
I tried in several ways and finally found a solution using xml, but when I use xml I don’t get the output I want.
This is a sample code I used to try the logic.
x
drop table #TestTable
-- Create table
CREATE TABLE #TestTable (id VARCHAR(100), title VARCHAR(100),
progress VARCHAR(100))
GO
-- Populate tableid
INSERT INTO #TestTable (id, title, progress)
SELECT '1', 'test1', 'inprogress'
UNION ALL
SELECT '1', 'test2', 'inprogress'
UNION ALL
SELECT '1', 'test3', 'completed'
UNION ALL
SELECT '1', 'test4', 'completed'
GO
SELECT id,progress, comments = STUFF((SELECT +' , '+ TITLE
FROM #TestTable AS x2 WHERE ID = x.ID
ORDER BY ID
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value(N'(./text())[1]', N'varchar(max)'), 1, 1, '')
FROM #TestTable AS x
GROUP BY id,progress
returned output:
id progress comments
1 completed , test1 , test2 , test3 , test4
1 inprogress , test1 , test2 , test3 , test4
expected output:
id progress comments
1 completed , test1 , test2
1 inprogress , test3 , test4

I think you are missing a condition in your join (progress = x.progress
):
SELECT id,progress, comments = STUFF((SELECT +' , '+ TITLE
FROM #TestTable AS x2 WHERE ID = x.ID
and progress = x.progress -- <-- add this
ORDER BY ID
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value(N'(./text())[1]', N'varchar(max)'), 1, 1, '')
FROM #TestTable AS x
GROUP BY id,progress
Output:
