How Do I Return All the Values of a Group on a Single Line in SQL Reporting Services 2008?

During a recent SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 project I was asked "How Do I Return All the Values of a Group on a Single Line, separated with a vertical line using SQL?

Solution:


There are a number of ways of achieving this, the simplest method is by creating a query:

Using the Xtreme database, and the Product table


SELECT p1.[Product Type ID] ,

       stuff( (SELECT  ' | '+[Product Name]

               FROM Product p2

               WHERE p2.[Product Type ID]  = p1.[Product Type ID]

               ORDER BY [Product Name]

               FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'varchar(max)')

            ,2,1,'')

       AS Product

      FROM Product p1

      GROUP BY [Product Type ID]
