I am attemptng to use COASESCE to combine multiple records into a Single field of a record (PlantResponse). The code below works fine as is....
Declare @Comment varChar(8000)
SELECT @Comment = COALESCE(@Comment + '<br><hr> ', '') +
CAST(PR.Comment as varChar(500)) + '<br>Input By: ' + InputBy
FROM tbl_MAQ_Plant_Response PR
JOIN tbl_MiniMaq MM ON MM.ReportDate = PR.ReportDate
Where ((MM.OfficeID = PR.OfficeID) and (MM.ReportDate = '12/6/2003'))
Select @Comment as PlantResponse
... However, I also need to return other fields that do not have multiple entries as part of the same record. As soon as I do that
...
Declare @Comment varChar(8000)
SELECT PR.OfficeID, @Comment = COALESCE(@Comment + '<br><hr> ', '') +
CAST(PR.Comment as varChar(500)) + '<br>Input By: ' + InputBy
FROM tbl_MAQ_Plant_Response PR
JOIN tbl_MiniMaq MM ON MM.ReportDate = PR.ReportDate
Where ((MM.OfficeID = PR.OfficeID) and (MM.ReportDate = '12/6/2003'))
Select @Comment as PlantResponse
...
I get this error ...
A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations.
...
Does anyone know haw I can combine the results of COALESCE with other field data into one record?

How about this:
Declare @Comment varChar(8000)
SELECT @Comment = COALESCE(@Comment + '<br><hr> ', '') +
CAST(PR.Comment as varChar(500)) + '<br>Input By: ' + InputBy
FROM tbl_MAQ_Plant_Response PR
JOIN tbl_MiniMaq MM ON MM.ReportDate = PR.ReportDate
Where ((MM.OfficeID = PR.OfficeID) and (MM.ReportDate = '12/6/2003'))
Select DISTINCT PR.OfficeID, @Comment as PlantResponse
FROM tbl_MAQ_Plant_Response PR
JOIN tbl_MiniMaq MM ON MM.ReportDate = PR.ReportDate
Where ((MM.OfficeID = PR.OfficeID) and (MM.ReportDate = '12/6/2003'))

I spoke too soon.
When I put this into the rest of the query, it returns all PlantResponse's combined together. These should be different records for different offices (OfficeID). Also all of the records return the PlantResponse when some should be null.
Declare
@Comment varChar(8000),
@dtDate smalldatetime,
@Plant varchar(5),
@Area varchar(5)
Set @dtDate = '12/6/2003'
Set @Plant = '%'
Set @Area = '%'
SELECT @Comment = COALESCE(@Comment + '<br><hr> ', '') +
CAST(PR.Comment as varChar(500)) + '<br>Input By: ' + InputBy
FROM tbl_MAQ_Plant_Response PR
JOIN tbl_MiniMaq MM ON MM.ReportDate = PR.ReportDate
and MM.OfficeID = PR.OfficeID
Where ((MM.OfficeID = PR.OfficeID) and (Convert(varchar(10),MM.[ReportDate],1) = Convert(varchar(10),@dtDate,1) ))
Select distinct MM.OfficeID, O.MgrCode, O.MAQ, P.Plant, S.MpooSort, Z.Office, Z.Zips, @Comment as PlantResponse
FROM tbl_MAQ_Plant_Response PR
join tbl_MiniMaq MM ON MM.ReportDate = PR.ReportDate
join Portland_ClusterDB.dbo.tbl_Offices O ON MM.officeID = O.OfficeID
join Portland_ClusterDB.dbo.tbl_OfficeZips Z ON MM.officeID = Z.OfficeID
join Portland_ClusterDB.dbo.tbl_Plants P on O.PlantMail = P.PlantID
join Portland_ClusterDB.dbo.tbl_SeniorStaff S on O.MgrCode = S.MgrCode
Where Convert(varchar(10),MM.[ReportDate],1) = Convert(varchar(10),@dtDate,1) and S.MgrCode like Convert(varchar(5),@Area,1) and P.PlantID like Convert(varchar(5),@Plant,1)
Order by S.MpooSort, Office
Results:
OfficeID MgrCode MAQ Plant Sort Office Zip

Stanfield ahould have the first 3 responses
Umatilla should have its first response only
Beavercreek, Yamhill and Veneta should be null

COALESCE with other field data
