Perhaps I can give you a hint.
Check out GROUP BY[^]. But you have to do a CONCAT of the value in "col2" in a GROUP BY.

Try this.

SQL

SELECT   Col1, LEFT([Col2], LEN([Col2]) - 1) as [Col2]
           FROM  ( SELECT  DISTINCT Col1
                      FROM  tablename )  AS A

OUTER APPLY ( SELECT  RTRIM(B.Col2)  + ', '
                FROM  tablename B WHERE A.Col1 = B.Col1
                 FOR  XML PATH('') ) AS C ([Col2])
