Did you even tried that code???

I added char(13) also but no success..

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near 'GO'.

It depends on several things:

What is the format the original values are stored as?

How do you want to display times before 10:00 (w/ or w/o leading zero)?

Please clean up your sample code and run...

Would something like the following will do it?

Side note: this will only work if you always provide an ORDER BY clause since this is required for the ROW_NUMBER function....

First of all: thank your for taking the time to set up the sample data!!

Made it really easy to work on! Great job :Wow:

Here's what I came up with:

Would you please provide table def, some sample data and expected result? I'm sure it's possible to do it without dynamic sql but I'd like to have something to play...

Instead of that verbal description would you mind setting up some table definition (target table), input values that are provided and expected result set in your target table.

If you'd like...

Try the following:

Open Query Editor (or whatever the name was back in SQL 2000... I simply forgot). Highlight the word "sysobjects" and press {F1}. IIRC it will open the...
