    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.

            Please can anyone assist me with the following questions? 1. Given the following table (the data could be hundreds of rows): CompanyID CompanyName Town Country CompanySize 1 CompanyA Maryland USA 10 2 CompanyB Maryland USA 19 3 CompanyC Maryland USA 20 4 CompanyD Texas USA 13 5 CompanyE Texas USA 40 6 CompanyE Florida USA 4 For those towns which have more than one company in them, calculate (in one query): · The total number of employees in the town. · The average number of employees in a company (per town). · The average number of employees in a company (per town) only for companies which have less than 20 employees. The results should exclude Florida and be sorted in descending order of the total number of employees in the town. I will be very grateful for your professional response. Regards, Current Addendum I forgot to mention that CompanySize is the number of employees Thanks for your observation.

            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.
