I’m totally lost, I think it can be done with a union query but I can’t get it to work. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
You can see the data is listed on 4 lines, what I’m trying to do is get them flat on one line.

But isn't your results from two different weeks (week 26 and week 27)? Why would you be combining them into one week? Shouldn't it be the first two rows combined and the last two rows combined?

What about something like this?

SELECT full_name,

start_year,

MIN(start_week) AS start_week,

SUM(sunday) AS sunday,

SUM(monday) AS monday,

SUM(tuesday) AS Tuesday

FROM [SNF_TIME]

WHERE start_week in(26,27))

GROUP BY full_name, start_year;

Why would you need the UNION ALL when you can include both weeks in the same statement?

I'm sorry I missed that there were 2 weeks in the data, I would not want to combined them. Thanks for your reply I'll try the idea you gave above, thanks.
