Question

I am having trouble figuring out how to coalesce or pivot on a SQL recordset that looks like this:

ID      VALUE       GROUP 3       John        18 4       Smith       18 5       Microsoft   18 3       Randy       21 4       Davis       21 5       IBM     21 etc 

and I want formatted like this

NEWVALUE                GROUP Smith, John (Microsft)      18 Davis, Randy (IBM)          21   

thanks for any suggestions and help!

This is what i done, i hope it fits for you

DECLARE @t table (id int, value VARCHAR(20), grupo int) INSERT @T VALUES (3, 'John', 18) INSERT @T VALUES (4, 'Smith', 18) INSERT @T VALUES (5, 'Microsoft', 18) INSERT @T VALUES (3, 'Randy', 21) INSERT @T VALUES (4, 'Davis', 21) INSERT @T VALUES (5, 'IBM', 21)   SELECT grupo, (SELECT value FROM @t t2 WHERE t2.grupo = t.grupo AND id = 4) + ', ' +  (SELECT value FROM @t t2 WHERE t2.grupo = t.grupo AND id = 3) + ' (' + (SELECT value FROM @t t2 WHERE t2.grupo = t.grupo AND id = 5) + ')' FROM @t t  GROUP BY grupo
