I wish I had more time to work on this but as usual everything needs to be done asap. This seems pretty tricky.Admittedly, I have not been the best about posting data per Jeff's very helpful Etiquette article. (http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Best+Practices/61537/). So, this time around I am going to change that!We have an application that can spit out our Facility Structure into the following format. However, we have a need to take that data and feed it into another system. However, as you can see it is organized in a PARENT / CHILD structure. Indent Level Key:1 System2 Facility3 Service Line4 Division5 DepartmentIf you notice, each additional row is the child row to its parent above it as long as the Indent Level Key continues to increment. Once we start going back up the structure we essentially have a new Division/Service Line/or Facility depending on how far back we jump on the Indent Level for that next row. Here is some sample data.--===== If the test table already exists, drop itIF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#Test_Data','U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Test_Data--===== Create the test table withSET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOCREATE TABLE #Test_Data ( [Entity] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [IndentLevel] [float] NULL )--===== Insert the test data into the test table INSERT INTO #Test_Data (Entity,IndentLevel)SELECT 'Lockheed Martin Corp','1' UNION ALLSELECT 'Skunk Works -
