Hi All, i need to create rows of data from the table of results below:

AnswerDelay DelayTime
2 1
4 5
6 6
8 28
10 27
12 12
14 20
16 25

I would need to see the following:

AnswerDelay
2
4
4
4

6
6

Basically i need to know the number of times a time delay of say 2 occured but in a list format

Any ideas? cant seem to find much on the internet to guide me

If you have a numbers table in your database, use that instead of the master..spt_values that I am showing below:
SELECT
	y.AnswerDelay,
	y.DelayTime
FROM
	YourTable y
	CROSS JOIN MASTER..spt_values s
WHERE
	s.type = 'P' AND s.number BETWEEN 1 AND AnswerDelay
I am assuming that 2 is shown only once in your results is a typo.
