I got the same result - table something is missing.
I need one row per CustomerID not several.
select t1.customerid, t1.task1,
(select t2.task2 from tblCustomer t2 on t2.customerid = t1.customerid and (t2.task2 is null or t2.task2 <> '') as task2,
(select t3.task3 from tblCustomer t3 on t3.customerid = t1.customerid and (t3.task3 is null or t3.task2 <> '') as task3,
(select t4.task2 from tblCustomer t4 on t2.customerid = t1.customerid and (t4.task4 is null or t4.task4 <> '') as task4
from tblCustomer t1

This query is runign now for 1 hour still no result out ,  I have 10 tasks. I need something faster?
Make sure you have indexes on each of the task fields and customerid.  Also add the (nolock) command below.

select t1.customerid, t1.task1,
(select t2.task2 from tblCustomer t2 (nolock) where t2.customerid = t1.customerid and (t2.task2 is null or t2.task2 <> '') as task2,
(select t3.task3 from tblCustomer t3 (nolock) where t3.customerid = t1.customerid and (t3.task3 is null or t3.task2 <> '') as task3,
(select t4.task2 from tblCustomer t4 (nolock) where t4.customerid = t1.customerid and (t4.task4 is null or t4.task4 <> '') as task4
from tblCustomer t1 (nolock)

It is still not pulling out one row per CustomerId. Now It is repeating  each preset  task in all rows for CustomerID  except Task1.
Something like this:

CustomerID      Task1      Task2      Task3      Task4
101                 Yes              Yes
101                         Yes
101                         Yes
101                         Yes
102              Yes                 Yes
102                             Yes
102                             Yes
102                             Yes

It is not properly lined up
select t1.customerid, t1.task1,
(select t2.task2 from tblCustomer t2 (nolock) where t2.customerid = t1.customerid and (t2.task2 is null or t2.task2 <> '') as task2,
(select t3.task3 from tblCustomer t3 (nolock) where t3.customerid = t1.customerid and (t3.task3 is null or t3.task2 <> '') as task3,
(select t4.task2 from tblCustomer t4 (nolock) where t4.customerid = t1.customerid and (t4.task4 is null or t4.task4 <> '') as task4
from tblCustomer t1 (nolock)
where t1.task1 is null or t1.task1 <> ''
