DECLARE @table table (Col1 char(2), Col2 char(2))
INSERT INTO @table select 'A', 'Y' UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 'Y' UNION ALL
select 'C', 'Y' UNION ALL
SELECT 'D', 'N'

SELECT DISTINCT STUFF((SELECT DISTINCT ',' + CAST(col1 AS VARCHAR(255))
FROM @table WHERE col2 = t.col2
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, ''), col2 FROM @table t

This will work from SQL Server 2005 version onwards
