在单行SSRS表达式中组合多个行值

Question

There are three rows in my SQL output which I would like to view them in a single line when I want to view them while running the SSRS report.

Source Data

These two columns are part of my DataSet1 in the SSRS report.

Output I am expecting in the SSRS report (Expression): Semester 1 2017, Semester 2 2017, Semester 3 2017

Can someone please help?

Answer 1

Check this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/stuff-transact-sql

SELECT STUFF(
             (SELECT ',' + Semesters 
              FROM table t1
              FOR XML PATH (''))
             , 1, 1, '') AS Semesters from table t2

Answer 2

Yes you could use STUFF() function with xml path method for that

SELECT DISTINCT
       Semester = STUFF(
                       (
                           SELECT ','+CONCAT(Semester, ' ', [year])
                           FROM <table> FOR XML PATH('')
                       ), 1, 1, '')
FROM <table>;

Update : You could use CONCAT() function for combining the year & Semester

Result :

Semester
Semester 1 2017,Semester 2 2017,Semester 3 2017
