Combining SQL string alias into comma delimited string - sql

Question

I am working on this stored proc which check to see which BIT fields are true and depending on it assigns a text to it using alias name. I want to be able to combine these alias values (string) and have it comma delimited to I can display it on my SSRS report.
Below is part of my stored proc.
,CASE
WHEN sr.[ReservationAlreadySentAttached] = 1 THEN 'Reservation Already Sent'
END AS ReservationAttached
,CASE
WHEN sr.[HPOfficeAttached] = 1 THEN 'H&P Office'
END AS HPOfficeAttached
WHEN sr.[NotesAttached] = 1 THEN 'Notes'
END AS NotesAttached
,CASE
WHEN sr.[OpPermitAttached] = 1 THEN 'Op Permit'
END AS OpPermitAttached
,CASE
WHEN sr.[TestResultsAttached] = 1 THEN 'Test Results'
END AS TestResultsAttached
,CASE
WHEN sr.[ConsultationReportsAttached] = 1 THEN 'Consultation Reports'
END AS ConsultationReportsAttached
,CASE
WHEN sr.[OtherAttached] = 1 THEN 'Other'
END AS OtherAttached
so lets say in case where only NotesAttached and ReservationAlreadySentAttached were only true ones then I want the end result to come out as Notes, Reservation Already Sent.
How do i concatenate these aliases ?

Answer 1

Another option is to build your string and then just remove the leading comma with STUFF()
Example (abbreviated)
Declare #YourTable table (ReservationAlreadySentAttached bit,HPOfficeAttached bit,NotesAttached bit)
Insert Into #YourTable values
(1,0,1)
Select NewValue = stuff(
case when ReservationAlreadySentAttached = 1 then ', Reservation Already Sent' else '' end
+case when HPOfficeAttached = 1 then ', H&P Office' else '' end
+case when NotesAttached = 1 then ', Notes' else '' end
,1,2,'')
From #YourTable
Returns
NewValue
Reservation Already Sent, Notes
EDIT - Just the Expression
NewValue = stuff(
case when sr.[ReservationAlreadySentAttached] = 1 then ', Reservation Already Sent' else '' end
+case when sr.[HPOfficeAttached] = 1 then ', H&P Office' else '' end
+case when sr.[NotesAttached] = 1 then ', Notes' else '' end
,1,2,'')

Not the prettiest solution...
RIGHT((CASE
WHEN sr.[ReservationAlreadySentAttached] = 1
THEN ',Reservation Already Sent'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[HPOfficeAttached] = 1
THEN ',H&P Office'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[NotesAttached] = 1
THEN ',Notes'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[OpPermitAttached] = 1
THEN ',Op Permit'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[TestResultsAttached] = 1
THEN ',Test Results'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[ConsultationReportsAttached] = 1
THEN ',Consultation Reports'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[OtherAttached] = 1
THEN ',Other'
END)
,LEN(CASE
WHEN sr.[ReservationAlreadySentAttached] = 1
THEN ',Reservation Already Sent'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[HPOfficeAttached] = 1
THEN ',H&P Office'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[NotesAttached] = 1
THEN ',Notes'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[OpPermitAttached] = 1
THEN ',Op Permit'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[TestResultsAttached] = 1
THEN ',Test Results'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[ConsultationReportsAttached] = 1
THEN ',Consultation Reports'
END + CASE
WHEN sr.[OtherAttached] = 1
THEN ',Other'
END) - 1 )
Edit: You may have to take into consideration when NONE of them are 1 so you don't get Invalid length parameter passed to the right function.

Answer 3

CASE
WHEN sr.[ReservationAlreadySentAttached] = 1 THEN ', Reservation Already Sent' ELSE ''
END
+ CASE
WHEN sr.[HPOfficeAttached] = 1 THEN ', H&P Office' ELSE ''
END
+ CASE etc...
And wrap this in some function to remove the first comma + space.
