Then it's time for the standard advice for questions of this type. And that
is that you should always include:

o CREATE TABLE statement for your table (preferrably simplified)
o INSERT statements with sample data.
o The desired result given the sample.

With just a narrative that may not be complete, there is a risk for
misunderstandings. Also, with the information above, it's simple to
post a tested solution.
