Hi,
I having trouble taking the below type of column and delimiting it into rows. See below:

Table1
ID BatchNum
543 455/544/655

Table2
ID BatchNum
543 455
543 544
543 655

Thanks,

You need a string parser - the best one by far that I have seen is Jeff Moden's code here: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Tally+Table/72993/ Copy the code from Figure 21 in his article to an SSMS query window, and run it - which will install the function. Then use it like this:

select
	t.id,
	d.Item as BatchNum
from
	YourTable t
	cross apply
	( select * from  dbo.DelimitedSplit8K( t.BatchNum,'/')) d
order by
	id, ItemNumber;
