    I havent had much experience with Tally tables so do no know how to utilize them.

    The "OR" x12 in the where clause it fine for now. Ill probs just create another table and query the words(month names) in there

    Not best practice but yea

    Just having troubles inserting the where clause, as it doesn't like it anywhere near there Cross Apply

    The WHERE would go after the CROSS APPLYs.


    My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]

    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.

    Need to UNPIVOT? Why not CROSS APPLY VALUES instead?[/url]
