TOP 10 RECORDS FOR SPECIFIC LOCATIONS BY TOTALS SALES

Trying to figure out how to get the top 10 customer sales from each of my 18 locations. Each location has a salonid. If I use the below listed query. It only returns top (n) no matter what location. SQL Server 2005 select top ( 20 ) Client_General.ClientUID , Client_General.ID , Client_General.FirstName , Client_General.LastName , sum(Reg_Transactions.Price) as 'TOTAL_SALES' , Client_General.LastTanVisitSalon from Reg_Transactions inner join Client_General on Reg_Transactions.ClientUID = Client_General.ClientUID where ( Reg_Transactions.Deleted = 0 ) and ( Reg_Transactions.DateofSale > convert(datetime,'2012-07-01 00:00:00',102) ) and ( Client_General.IsEmployee = 0 ) and ( not ( Client_General.LastName = N'NONMEMBER' ) ) and ( not ( Client_General.LastName = N'GIFT CARD' ) ) and ( not ( Client_General.ID = N'WALKIN' ) ) and ( not ( Client_General.ID = N'CUSTOMER' ) ) group by Client_General.LastTanVisitSalon , Client_General.ID , Client_General.FirstName , Client_General.LastName , Client_General.LastTanVisit , Client_General.ClientUID order by 'TOTAL_SALES' desc , Client_General.ID , Client_General.FirstName , Client_General.LastName

Sample data would have been helpful. Since we don't have any, let's pretend for a moment that `sys.tables` represents your locations table (is that `client_general`?), and `sys.columns` represents your customer sales tables (multiple columns per table sounds a lot like multiple customer sales per location). To get the top 10 customer sales, you just `CROSS APPLY` a `TOP 10` sub-query that ties the location from the inner query to the location in the outer query in the `WHERE` clause. SELECT OBJECT_NAME(st.object_id) AS TableName , TopTenColumns.name AS ColumnName , TopTenColumns.column_id AS ColumnPosition FROM sys.tables AS st CROSS APPLY ( SELECT TOP 10 * FROM sys.columns WHERE object_id = st.object_id ORDER BY column_id ) AS TopTenColumns
