I have a query that retrieves a large result set—200,000+ records—with correct data but separated into multiple rows. I need to combine some of these rows together by 2 field criteria. This is an example of what I have and what I need:
Manufactured_Item Operation Task Text
86252-01 10 250 First part of text
86252-01 10 250 and the 2nd part of text
86252-01 10 250 then remaining text.
86252-01 20 400 NULL
86252-01 30 250 Text for Operation 30

Based on the Manufactured_Item number and Operation—if the same—I need to have a unique row with the text combined (concatenated); I need it to look like this:
Manufactured_Item Operation Task Text
86252-01 10 250 First part of text and the 2nd part of text then remaining text.
86252-01 20 400 NULL
86252-01 30 250 Text for Operation 30

How can I accomplish this through a Management Studio Query?

Thank you very much!

SELECT Manufactured_Item,
Operation,
Task,
STUFF((SELECT '' + FROM Table 
WHERE Manufactured_Item = t.Manufactured_Item 
AND Operation = t.Operation 
AND Task = t.Task 
FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'') AS List
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Manufactured_Item,Operation,Task FROM Table) t
