• It's not entirely clear what you want, but I think you are after selecting the "best" version of each delivery address, where "best" means it has a postcode.

    So, use a

    row_number() over(partition by oh.Customer order by od.Postcode DESC) as [Best]

    then wrap your whole query inside a subquery (or CTE) and select WHERE [Best]=1

    This will give you the first address for each customer that has a Postcode - while still returning an address for those that don't have a Postcode.

    If you need to prioritise between the addresses (more than one with a postcode, more than one without), just add more columns / expressions to the ORDER BY part of the ROW_NUMBER function.

    Of course, this is simplistic and some validation of the Postcode may be required to make sure that a simple value of "Z" doesn't get priority over "W12 8QT"
