                                            | I am trying to combine rows if certain conditions are met... When Parent guid in row 3 = guid in row 2 put the name on row 3Category      DisplayName	ParentGUID	GUID	    IsLeafNodeNULL	      Payne, Michele	0	        1588204020	1New category  Payne, Michele	0	        1588304020	0NULL	      Payne, Michele	1588304020	1588404020	1There can be multiple parent guids to one guid.  This is what I have so far select distinct Name category,u.DisplayName,cat.ParentGUID,cat.GUID,cat.IsLeafNodefrom CV3HealthIssueBrowseItem cat inner join CV3User u on u.GUID = cat.UserGUIDwhere u.IDCode = 'mpayne'so for example a user can have one category of cardiology and 10 health issues under that category - I want to display each health issue with its category.  If the category is empty - just leave the category field empty... Thank you in advance... this is driving me crazy.   I did try subselects, but was getting the error I had one row for many results |  |

                                          | quote:Are you trying to copy the DisplayName FROM row 3 in this example to TO rows 1 and 2, or the other way around?From your description it seemed to me like it is the other way around, i.e., you are trying to copy the DisplayNames from Rows 1 and 2 to Row 3. If that is so, what do you want to do, copy both names as a comma-separated? If they are both the same, as in this case, do you want it to be repeated?Post some sample input data and the corresponding output you are looking for. That would make it easier for someone to understand what you are trying to do.Originally posted by mpayne
