• I was able to get parallelism out of it by simplifying the function instead of the "Make Parallel" thing but now I'm dealing with an implicit cast that's making mine 2 seconds slower.  I'll work on it but it's 2:15... I'm going to bed.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
