    create table tblxmldata

    (id int, xmltext varchar(max))

    insert into tblxmldata values(1,'<associatedText><value type="PO">GTT taken</value></associatedText>')

    insert into tblxmldata values(1,'<associatedText><value type="PO">Check sugar today please</value></associatedText>')

    I want the output as

    GTT taken

    Check sugar today please

    What have you tried? Why are you storing xml data in a varchar(max) column?
