My table creates a row for each customer name for the unique customer number.



CREATE TABLE #src(Number int, name varchar(32), seq bit);

INSERT #src(Number,name,seq) VALUES
(12345,'Mickey Mouse',0),
(12345,'Minnie Mouse',1),
(45678,'Donald Duck',0),
(45678,'Daphney Duck',1),
(245678,'Pluto Dog',0);


I need to be able to return a single row with multiple name columns based on the "Seq" number. It will always either be a 0 or a 1 and the Seq 1 can sometimes be blank.

          You can apply a simple PIVOT:

          FROM #src AS c
          PIVOT (MAX(name) FOR seq IN ([0],[1])) AS p

          12345 Mickey Mouse Minnie Mouse

            Another method without using pivot



            CREATE TABLE dbo.Customer(Number int, [Name] varchar(255),Seq bit);
            INSERT INTO dbo.Customer(Number,[Name],Seq)
            VALUES

            SELECT Number,
            MAX(CASE WHEN Seq = 0 THEN [Name] END) as Owner1,
            MAX(CASE WHEN Seq = 1 Then [Name] END) AS Owner2
            FROM dbo.Customer
            GROUP BY Number;


            Result



            Number Owner1 Owner2

            245678 Pluto Dog NULL



            Update: Issue with many columns



            If the other columns mentioned in the comments are the same based on the number, you can add them to the group by, and cast the TEXT value as varchar(4000) (max 3640 datalength) Otherwise you would have to choose one of the two with MAX / MIN / ...



            SELECT Number, 
            MAX(CASE WHEN Seq = 0 THEN [Name] END) as Owner1,
            MAX(CASE WHEN Seq = 1 Then [Name] END) AS Owner2
            ,[Street1], [Street2], [City] , [State] , [Zipcode] , [HomePhone] ,CAST(JobMemo as varchar(4000))

            • OK thank you! So there's pretty much no way to run a simle query without creating a table first?

            • @NicoleMontez No problem, I am not sure what you mean by the 'without creating a table first'? I could have created a temp table aswell. As far as questions go, giving the sample data + table create statement really helps! We always have to create a table with the same sample data to show a valid resultset as an answer :).

            • Error on Pivot table: Pivot grouping columns must be comparable. The type of column "JobMemo" is "text", which is not comparable. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Debtors]( [Number] [int] NOT NULL, [Seq] [int] NULL, [Name] [varchar](30) NULL, [Street1] [varchar](30) NULL, [Street2] [varchar](30) NULL, [City] [varchar](30) NULL, [State] [varchar](3) NULL, [Zipcode] [varchar](10) NULL, [HomePhone] [varchar](30) NULL,

            • @NicoleMontez does the JobMemo need to be text? What does SELECT MAX(DATALENGTH(JobMemo)) from dbo.Debtors return? Maybe you could change it to varchar or nvarchar datatype? You could also cast it in the query. Could you add the entire table to the question?

            • It's HUGE. I couldn't fit all of the characters. I'm sorry, this is my first question. I normally just wing it on my own. I inherited this table, and it's very invloved.

                    • OK thank you! So there's pretty much no way to run a simle query without creating a table first?

                    • @NicoleMontez No problem, I am not sure what you mean by the 'without creating a table first'? I could have created a temp table aswell. As far as questions go, giving the sample data + table create statement really helps! We always have to create a table with the same sample data to show a valid resultset as an answer :).

                    • @NicoleMontez does the JobMemo need to be text? What does SELECT MAX(DATALENGTH(JobMemo)) from dbo.Debtors return? Maybe you could change it to varchar or nvarchar datatype? You could also cast it in the query. Could you add the entire table to the question?

                    @NicoleMontez does the JobMemo need to be text? What does SELECT MAX(DATALENGTH(JobMemo)) from dbo.Debtors return? Maybe you could change it to varchar or nvarchar datatype? You could also cast it in the query. Could you add the entire table to the question?

                    It's HUGE. I couldn't fit all of the characters. I'm sorry, this is my first question. I normally just wing it on my own. I inherited this table, and it's very invloved.
