Thanks for the help this makes sense. The query works considerably faster. However I have one issue. Each part needs to run in order e.g.For the 1st ID - if it was type 1 for example it needs to run
udf_TSC_qry_ExportBlockColumnParam1
and then
udf_TSC_qry_ExportBlockColumnParam2
So that in the output it is organised like:
OutputParam1 (ID 1)
OutputParam2 (ID 1)
OutputParam1 (ID 2)
OutputParam2 (ID 2)
and not
OutputParam1 (ID 1)
OutputParam1 (ID 2)
OutputParam2 (ID 1)
OutputParam2 (ID 2)
I hope this makes sense. Many thanks for your help, its almost there and runs in 1 second compared to 1 minute!

Looks like I was pretty close. Glad you worked it out.
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
