Re: Grouping query

That doesn't work I'm afraid as every row has a field_id=15 so the result of the first if statement returns the same result as the concatenated field_value.

However I've figured out a way to 'chop up' the string and assign the substrings to new columns within the reporting software that I'm running the query in.

You could probably do similar within SQL using string functions like FIND_IN_SET() and INSTR() and similar.

Thanks again for the earlier steer with the concatenation.
