You want the unique clustered index on ( date_, ID_vard ), assuming that you do primarily query the table by date_, and not on just ID_vard.

You likely should encode the room name for internal use -- I'd probably call it "room_code" -- but you'll need at least a smallint, and I'd probably just "byte" the...

I am going to add this statement at the top of the SP, it will prevent or minimize deadlocks:

SET DEADLOCK_PRIORITY HIGH

No, it won't.  Instead, it will force SQL to kill...

Change the WHERE conditions to match:

...
WHERE ControlPointName NOT LIKE 'WD%' AND ControlPointName NOT LIKE 'WM%' and --<<-- "day = " removed

CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION PF_Postcode(varchar(100))

Hi Scott, getting an error on Column not found in this piece;

Run CHECKDB to determine errors.  Backup the existing db to make sure you'll never be worse off than you are now.

If an error is in a non-clustered index, simply drop...

SELECT
    MAX(CASE WHEN month = @month AND year = @year THEN ControlPointName END)...

I'd strongly urge you to avoid a tinyint.  Mainly because the room number is "904", not just 4 (and not 94).  If you think about it, "room 4"...

I have to say, in this case I would use a char/varchar column for room numbers, not an int.  Even if the hotel guest rooms are all...
