Potrebbero esserci soluzioni più semplici per farlo, ma qui c'è un modo.
Struttura della tabella
create table Locations(LocationID int, Location varchar(50))
create table OtherTable(ID int, Locations varchar(max))
Dati di prova
insert into Locations values(1, 'Location <1>')
insert into Locations values(2, 'Location <2>')
insert into Locations values(3, 'Location <3>')
insert into Locations values(4, 'Location <4>')
insert into Locations values(5, 'Location <5>')
insert into OtherTable values (1, '')
insert into OtherTable values (2, '2')
insert into OtherTable values (3, '1, 3 ,5')

select
T.ID,
coalesce(L.Location, '') as Location
from OtherTable as T
cross apply
(select cast('<r>'+replace(T.Locations, ',', '</r><r>')+'</r>' as xml)) LocXML(XMLCol)
cross apply
LocXML.XMLCol.nodes('r') LocID(IDCol)
left outer join Locations as L
on L.LocationID = LocID.IDCol.value('.', 'int')
)
select
C1.ID,
stuff((select ', '+C2.Location

where C1.ID = C2.ID
for xml path(''), type).value('text()[1]', 'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 2, '') as Locations
from cte as C1
group by C1.ID
Risultato
