To answer your original problem, you need to modify the way you’re using COALESCE in SQL Server. Instead of trying to use it outside of the query like this: SET @LastIndexOfChar = COALESCE(SELECT MIN(LastIndexOfChar) FROM @TempTable WHERE LastIndexOfChar > 0),0) You should move the COALESCE function inside the query, like this: SET @LastIndexOfChar = (SELECT COALESCE(MIN(LastIndexOfChar),0) FROM @TempTable WHERE LastIndexOfChar > 0) Additionally, you need to add an IF statement to break out of the loop if the length of the string between characters exceeds 500:

Data Analysis with Pandas: Displaying Column Values Based on Frequency of Another Column As a data analyst or scientist, working with datasets is an essential part of our job. One common task we encounter when analyzing data is to understand the frequency and distribution of values within a column, while also relating it to another column.
