Look into using Group By Town and Sum(CompanySize) these will allow you to get the result you need. You may have yo do some filtering after the sum in which case look into Having sum() > #n You weren't expecting someone to actually write the query for you were you!

Thanks. Your propositions have been tested without success. Since the sample data is given, if can supply full query, there is no sin! Cheers

If you need the code written for you then trundle across to rentacoder, we support people who want to learn how to write the code, NOT people who want us to do their work for them.

try this

select mt.town , sum(mt.CompanySize) as TotalNrOfEmployees,
sum(mt.CompanySize)/(select count(*) from mytable) as AverageEmployeesPerTown,
sum(mt.CompanySize)/(select count(*) from mytable where companysize<20) as AverageEmployeesPerTownLessThen20

from mytable mt
group by mt.town
having (sum(mt.CompanySize) > 20)

order by ( sum(mt.CompanySize)) desc

This will give you result as Town TotalNrOfEmployees AverageEmployeesPerTown AverageEmployeesPerTownLessThen20 Texas 53 8 13 Maryland 49 8 12

The question has "homework" written all over it. I notice he did eventually find a sucker willing to do it for him for free.

Hope this helps Input:

Declare @t table(CompanyID int identity, CompanyName varchar(20), Town varchar(20), Country varchar(20), CompanySize int)
insert into @t
select 'CompanyA', 'Maryland', 'USA', 10 union all
select 'CompanyB' , 'Maryland', 'USA', 19 union all
select 'CompanyC', 'Maryland', 'USA', 20 union all
select 'CompanyD' , 'Texas', 'USA', 13 union all
select 'CompanyE', 'Texas', 'USA', 40 union all
select 'CompanyE', 'Florida', 'USA' ,4
Select * from @t

Query:

Select
t2.Town
, t1.[Total Employees In the Town]
, t2.[Avg No of employees(per town)]
, t2.[AVG Less than 20]
from

-- Query1 : The total number of employees in the town
(
Select
[Total Employees In the Town] = SUM(a.CompanySize)
from @t a
join (Select Town From @t Group by Town Having Count(Town) > 1 ) x
on a.Town = x.Town
) t1
left join
(
Select
a.Town
,a.[Avg No of employees(per town)]
,b.[AVG Less than 20]
from
(
-- Query 2: The average number of employees in a company (per town).
Select Town,[Avg No of employees(per town)] = SUM(CompanySize)/COUNT(Town)
From @t
Group by Town Having Count(Town) > 1 ) a

	join (

			-- Query 3 
			--			The average number of employees in a company (per town) only for companies which
			--			have less than 20 employees

			Select a.Town, \[AVG Less than 20\] =  SUM(CompanySize)/Count(a.Town) 
			from @t a 
			join (Select Town From @t Group by Town Having Count(Town) > 1 ) x on a.Town = x.Town
			where a.CompanySize < 20
			group by a.Town) b
			on a.Town = b.Town

) t2 on 1 = 1

Output:

Town Total Employees In the Town Avg No of employees(per town) AVG Less than 20
Maryland 102 16 14
Texas 102 26 13

Hi Niladri, Your answer and that of Blue_boy have really expanded my thoughts.First I am very grateful. Meanwhile, the results from the two queries are different. The problem lies in the filtering. Sincerely, I am really grateful.I will work further on your posted queries. Regards, Current
