Question

Is it possible to re-write this query to restart numbering when the UName changes so that my result set is:

1 FerrieC
2 FerrieC
3 FerrieC
1 GrayD
1 TimneyA
2 TimneyA

SELECT Row_Number() OVER (ORDER BY
u.UName) as RowNumber , u.UName FROM (
SELECT ‘Ferriec’ As UName UNION ALL
SELECT ‘Ferriec’ As UName UNION ALL
SELECT ‘Ferriec’ As UName UNION ALL
SELECT ‘TimneyA’ As UName UNION ALL
SELECT ‘TimneyA’ As UName UNION ALL
SELECT ‘GrayD’ As UName ) as u

Thansk! 🙂

Try this:

SELECT   Row_Number() OVER (PARTITION BY UName ORDER BY u.UName) as RowNumber 
         ,u.UName 
FROM  (  SELECT 'Ferriec' As UName UNION ALL 
         SELECT 'Ferriec' As UName UNION ALL 
         SELECT 'Ferriec' As UName UNION ALL 
         SELECT 'TimneyA' As UName UNION ALL 
         SELECT 'TimneyA' As UName UNION ALL 
         SELECT 'GrayD' As UName ) as u
