Use this code

SQL

declare @tbl1 Table (location varchar(50), Users varchar(100))
insert into @tbl1
select 'USA', 'Jhon, Ram'
union
select 'Japan', 'Kevin, Kenady'
union
select 'India', 'Michal, Joy, Selvin, Mohan'

SELECT  STUFF((SELECT ','+ Users FROM @tbl1 nolock order by users for XML path('') ),1,1,'')  as Users

HI,

You can do it using following link. Please go through them.

1. Convert row data to column in SQL Server
2. SQL Server convert columns to rows
3. Convert rows to columns in SQL

Once you can able to get the column data in rows then concatenate them and this will produce the result for you. :D

Thanks

Try something like this

string total = string.Empty;
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("Location", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("Users", typeof(string));

table.Rows.Add("USA","Jhon, Ram");
table.Rows.Add("Japan", "Kevin, Kenady");
table.Rows.Add("India", "Michal, Joy, Selvin, Mohan");
String str = "";
table.Rows.Cast<datarow>().ToList().ForEach((datarow) => { str += datarow["Users"].ToString() + ","; });

str = str.TrimEnd(',');
