(how rude)anyway, I too was getting:Incorrect syntax near 'SETS'.but I am running SQL Server 2008 Management Studio.Figured out that the Compatibility level must be at 100 in order for this to work. This is a bummer for me, since I work with SQL Server 2005 databases (level 90 or some even set to 80). I think I could really make use of these more powerful grouping techniques, but you are stuck if you aren't using the 2008 engine.I guess I am forced to continue to do more mental gymnastics to get these types of desired results.:crying:Thu, 03 Dec 2009 09:11:36 GMTjim.taylorhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic787769-1651-1.aspxIts a back to the future moment.A fine demonstration how past performance can affect future rewards. :-)Thu, 03 Dec 2009 08:27:49 GMTRichard Siskhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic787769-1651-1.aspx[quote][b]Stuart Davies (12/3/2009)[/b][hr][quote][b]San-847017 (12/2/2009)[/b][hr]Don't know how..when I opened QOD page today it shows that "My answer is correct" and I have been given 2 points.

Pleasant surprise - and I'll take it, given the previous times when I thought I was "robbed" out of a point or two. :-)webrunnerThu, 03 Dec 2009 08:18:33 GMTwebrunnerhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic787769-1651-1.aspxAfter moving the code to my SQL 2008 and rewriting it to work with an existing table I got some results. There were lines with the first field having a value and the second NULL. Then I got a set of lines with the first field NULL and the second with values. It was almost like running two statements, one grouping by the first field and the other grouping by the second field, then putting all the results together.What was a bummer was that I didn't need to go to all the trouble as when I went to answer the question it automatically assigned the correct answer. Why can't it do that on those that I would get wrong?Thu, 03 Dec 2009 07:22:55 GMTcrussell-931424http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic787769-1651-1.aspx[quote][b]San-847017 (12/2/2009)[/b][hr]Don't know how..when I opened QOD page today it shows that "My answer is correct" and I have been given 2 points.
