Hi Darren,
It seems to me that you have a flawed design.
Displaying sparse like that should be a function of your application display code, not the database
I had to chuckle that when I asked "How do I use this to do that", your solution was "you shouldn't have that and you should do it with something other than this" ;-) Not really helpful, but good for a chuckle.
Fortunately Simon's replies helped me out. Hopefully my followup posting gives a better example.
