This will do it.

if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Something') is not null

drop table #Something

create table #Something

(

SomeID int identity,

SomeValue varchar(25)

)

insert #Something

select '1,2,3,4,5' union all

select '6,7,8,9,10'

select MAX(Case when ItemNumber = 1 then Item else null end) as ColA,

MAX(Case when ItemNumber = 2 then Item else null end) as ColB,

MAX(Case when ItemNumber = 3 then Item else null end) as ColC,

MAX(Case when ItemNumber = 4 then Item else null end) as ColD,

MAX(Case when ItemNumber = 5 then Item else null end) as ColE

from #Something s

cross apply dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(s.SomeValue, ',') x

group by SomeID

You can find the code for the DelimitedSplit8K function by following the article in my signature about splitting strings.

Notice how I posted ddl and sample data? You should do something like that in the future.

Then when you parse this stuff out you should store your data normalized. Storing multiple values in a single column violates first normal form.
