• Thank you Malleswarareddy, for the answer.

    To answer your question, Calibear, below is DDL demonstrating my reason for needing to UNION ALL two CTEs.

    New DDL

    create table #temp (TicketID int, Name varchar(20), Duration int)

    insert into #temp

    values

    (10, 'Helen', 8),

    (15, 'Blake', 12),

    (20, 'Joe', 17),

    (25, 'Joe', 16),

    (30, 'Blake', 50),

    (35, 'Helen', 20);

    From this data I must produce a report showing two additional columns: Category, Value which label and summarize how many tickets were filed, per Name and the Duration of the tickets per Name. Like this:

    ;with ct1 as

    (select

    name

    ,Value = COUNT(ticketID)

    from #temp

    group by Name

    )

    select

    name

    , Value

    , Category = 'Count'

    from ct1

    -------

    ;with ct1 as

    (select

    name

    ,Duration

    from #temp

    )

    select

    name

    , Value= (Select sum(Duration))

    , Category = 'Duration'

    from ct1

    group by name

    -----

    Ideally, I could gets counts and duration by Name, with correct corresponding entry in Category column, with just one query, but I don't know how...so I've used CTEs.
