Sl No. Emp_No Error_Message

2 385539 PAYELEMENT ALREADY EXIST FOR THE Employee
2 385539 RECORD ALREADY EXIST FOR THE SELECTED CLIENT, EMPLOYEE_ID,
TRANSCATION_MONTH AND TRANSCATION_YEAR

The output should be the below format

Sl No. Emp_No Error_Message

Try like below. But this code put 1. even if there is a single record

SQL

DECLARE @TABLE TABLE (SlNo TINYINT, EmpNo INT, ErrorMessage VARCHAR(500))
INSERT INTO @TABLE VALUES (1, 512542, 'INVALID EMP NO (EMP NO DOES NOT BELONGS TO SELECTED CLIENT)')
,(2, 385539, 'PAYELEMENT ALREADY EXIST FOR THE Employee')
,(3, 385539, 'RECORD ALREADY EXIST FOR THE SELECTED CLIENT, EMPLOYEE_ID, TRANSCATION_MONTH AND TRANSCATION_YEAR')

SELECT * FROM @Table


SELECT EmpNo
       , (SELECT CAST(Row_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY SlNo )  AS VARCHAR) + '. ' + te.ErrorMessage + ' '
          FROM @Table te
          WHERE te.EmpNo = t.EmpNo
          FOR XML PATH(''))
FROM @Table t
GROUP BY EmpNo
