SQL Server:fusión de varias filas de datos en una sola fila

Esto funcionará, pero dado que no hay una columna de identidad o fecha y hora, no hay forma de encontrar qué fila de actualización es más nueva. Entonces, si hay más actualizaciones en la misma columna, solo tomo la primera alfabéticamente/numéricamente (MIN).

WITH CTE AS 
(
    SELECT ID, REF, MIN(Title) Title, MIN(Surname) Surname, MIN(Forename) Forename, MIN(DOB) DOB, MIN(Add1) Add1, MIN(Postcode) Postcode
    FROM Table1
    GROUP BY id, REF
)
SELECT 
    d.REF
  , d.ID
  , COALESCE(T.Title, d.TItle) AS Title
  , COALESCE(T.Surname, d.Surname) AS Surname
  , COALESCE(T.Forename, d.Forename) AS Forename
  , COALESCE(T.DOB, d.DOB) AS DOB
  , COALESCE(T.Add1, d.Add1) AS Add1
  , COALESCE(T.Postcode, d.Postcode) AS Postcode
FROM CTE d 
INNER JOIN CTE t ON d.ID = t.ID AND d.REF = 'D' AND t.REF = 't'

Si se puede agregar la columna de identidad, podemos simplemente reescribir la parte CTE para que sea más precisa.

EDITAR:

Si tenemos una columna de identidad y CTE se reescribe para volverse recursivo, en realidad se puede descartar toda otra parte de la consulta.

WITH CTE_RN AS 
(
    --Assigning row_Numbers based on identity - it has to be done since identity can always have gaps which would break the recursion

        COALESCE(r.TItle,p.TItle), --Coalesce will hold prev value if exist or use next one
