Get unique values using STRING_AGG in SQL Server
You can use distinct
in the subquery used for the apply
:
SELECT d.ProjectID,
STRING_AGG( newID.value, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY newID.value) AS
NewField
FROM [dbo].[Data] d CROSS APPLY
(select distinct value
from STRING_SPLIT(d.[bID], ';') AS newID
) newID
WHERE newID.value IN ( 'O95833' , 'Q96NY7-2' )
group by projectid;
Use the DISTINCT
keyword in a subquery to remove duplicates before combining the results: SQL Fiddle
SELECT
ProjectID
,STRING_AGG(value, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY value) AS
NewField
from (
select distinct ProjectId, newId.value
FROM [dbo].[Data] WITH(NOLOCK)
CROSS APPLY STRING_SPLIT([bID],';') AS newID
WHERE newID.value IN ( 'O95833' , 'Q96NY7-2' )
) x
GROUP BY ProjectID
ORDER BY ProjectID
