    To

    <summary>Errors were detected in file ''C:\Users\\Desktop\WS_Print.xlsx''</summary>

    Note the two single quotes instead of...

  • RE: Easy puzzle, complicated query

    Can you explain what you mean by "line" and perhaps show us what the correct output would be for the sample data that you posted.

  • RE: SQL Puzzle - Update

    I don't fully get what you are trying to do here. Can you post some sample data that shows what the desired output looks like?

    DECLARE @xml XML =
