I want to create a table valued function in SQL Server, which I want to return data in comma separated values.
For example table: tbl
ID | Value ---+-------  1 | 100  1 | 200  1 | 300       1 | 400    Now when I execute the query using the function Func1(value)
SELECT Func1(Value)  FROM tbl  WHERE ID = 1   Output that I want is: 100,200,300,400
Type the formula =CONCATENATE(TRANSPOSE(A1:A7)&",") in a blank cell adjacent to the list's initial data, for example, cell C1. (The column A1:A7 will be converted to a comma-serrated list, and the separator "," will be used to separate the list.)
Solution 1 -- Sort the values: SELECT value FROM STRING_SPLIT(@temp, ',') ORDER BY value; -- Remove duplicates: SELECT DISTINCT value FROM STRING_SPLIT(@temp, ',');
Test Data
DECLARE @Table1 TABLE(ID INT, Value INT) INSERT INTO @Table1 VALUES (1,100),(1,200),(1,300),(1,400)  Query
SELECT  ID        ,STUFF((SELECT ', ' + CAST(Value AS VARCHAR(10)) [text()]          FROM @Table1           WHERE ID = t.ID          FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE)         .value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)'),1,2,' ') List_Output FROM @Table1 t GROUP BY ID  Result Set
╔════╦═════════════════════╗ ║ ID ║     List_Output     ║ ╠════╬═════════════════════╣ ║  1 ║  100, 200, 300, 400 ║ ╚════╩═════════════════════╝  SQL Server 2017 and Later Versions
If you are working on SQL Server 2017 or later versions, you can use built-in SQL Server Function STRING_AGG to create the comma delimited list:
DECLARE @Table1 TABLE(ID INT, Value INT); INSERT INTO @Table1 VALUES (1,100),(1,200),(1,300),(1,400);   SELECT ID , STRING_AGG([Value], ', ') AS List_Output FROM @Table1 GROUP BY ID;  Result Set
╔════╦═════════════════════╗ ║ ID ║     List_Output     ║ ╠════╬═════════════════════╣ ║  1 ║  100, 200, 300, 400 ║ ╚════╩═════════════════════╝
