• As you are discovering you can't put a delimited list inside a variable and use IN to find all the values. You have a couple of choices here.

    1) You could create a user defined table type and pass that. This is probably overkill for what you are doing here though.

    2) You could use a string splitter. I recommend the one you would find by following the link in my signature about splitting strings.

    Your final query would end up something like this.

    SELECT *

    FROM TEMPTABLE tt

    CROSS APPLY dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(@Name, ',')
