Let's just say I have a table with columns ID and Name that looks like:
ID Name 01 02 03 Bill 04 05 06 07 08 09 Ted 10 11 12
I want to update rows 1-2 & 4-6 with the Name Bill and 7-8 & 10-12 with the Name Ted.
the update will always be an update to two prior and three subsequent rows where there is a non-null entry in column [Name]
This is easy enough to do in an RBAR fashion but not efficient but I'm not interested in that. How could I achieve this using ROW_NUMBER()
Thank you in advance
Sal.

You don't need ROW_NUMBER here:
declare @table table (ID int, Name varchar(100)) insert @table select 1,null insert @table select 2,null insert @table select 3,'Bill' insert @table select 4,null insert @table select 5,null insert @table select 6,null insert @table select 7,null insert @table select 8,null insert @table select 9,'Ted' insert @table select 10,null insert @table select 11,null insert @table select 12,null
UPDATE u SET u.Name = n.Name FROM @table u CROSS APPLY(SELECT TOP 1 t.Name FROM @table t WHERE t.Name IS NOT NULL AND ( t.ID - u.ID between 1 AND 2 OR u.ID - t.ID between 1 AND 3)) n WHERE u.Name IS NULL
SELECT * FROM @table

Thank you for the quick response. The example you provided works great. So I've tweaked it to update my test table which has about 2.5million rows. It's been running for 10 minutes and counting. The estimated execution plan looked ok and it was making use of available indexes. I'll post up the results when it completes.
