remove duplicate values of only one column value from all the available columns in sql query

Question

I have a sql query with three columns .I want to remove any duplicate value exits in beam_current column.How to do so.I work in sql-server2012

I used Distinct but then also I'm getting duplicate values of beam_current. My sql Query is-

select DISTINCT (beam_current), logtime, beam_energy 
from INDUS2_BDS.dbo.DCCT 
where logtime between '2014-08-09 01:13:03' and '2014-08-09 02:16:53'
      and (beam_current like '%9.96' 
           or beam_current like '%9.97' 
           ... etc ...) 
      and beam_energy between '550' and '552'

EDIT-1 My output is-

In first column 29.98 is repeating thrice.I only want any one of the row corresponding to 29.98.How to do that??

Answer 1

This will return 1 row for each value of beam_current:

;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT
  row_number() over (partition by beam_current order by (select 1)) rn,
  beam_current, logtime, beam_energy 
FROM INDUS2_BDS.dbo.DCCT 
WHERE 
  logtime between '2014-08-09 01:13:03' and '2014-08-09 02:16:53'
  and (beam_current like '%9.96' or beam_current like '%9.97' 
       or beam_current like '%9.98' or  beam_current like '%9.99'
       or beam_current like '%0' or beam_current like '%_0.01' 
       or beam_current like '%_0.02' or beam_current like '%_0.03' 
       or beam_current like '%_0.04' or beam_current like '%_0.05' 
       or beam_current like '%_0.06') 
       and beam_energy between 550 and 552
)
SELECT beam_current, logtime, beam_energy 
FROM CTE
WHERE rn = 1
