gives me the answer
Leigh                          43.20  12345 272 Sales                                  
Leigh                          43.20  12345 289 Mortgagee                              
 BANK                                             
Logan                          54.87  55322 null                                        
Simon                          28.67  44433 272 Sales                                  
Stew                           10.18  44422 null                                        
Tim                            24.30  33322 272 Sales                                  
 BANK                                             
Tim                            24.30  33322 289 Mortgagee                              
 BANK                                             
Chris                          68.22  34567 289 Mortgagee                              
 BANK                                             
What I am trying to achieve here is this, if it is type 289, 272 or null seperately then it shows. 
However I have 2 rows which have got data types 272 and 289 and I only want to bring back 289.  How can I do this without not losing the null values.  As I know I could do a where statement to only seek '289' and null values, but there are some
records showing with 272 only.  So I am trying to get the to look like this
Leigh                          43.20  12345 289 Mortgagee                              
 BANK                                             
Logan                          54.87  55322 null                                        
Simon                          28.67  44433 272 Sales                                  
Stew                           10.18  44422 null                                        
Tim                            24.30  33322 289 Mortgagee                              
 BANK                                             
Chris                          68.22  34567 289 Mortgagee                              
 BANK                                             
Cheers

Answer 1

actually one more question if say one of the tpk is different so 34567 is now 76345.  Is there still a way of doing this ?
Here is a little clean up for your sample table and data:
DECLARE @tmp TABLE
Name VARCHAR(30),
balance DECIMAL(6, 2),
tpk INT,
Type VARCHAR(10),
Descr VARCHAR(40),
Field VARCHAR (50)
INSERT @tmp
VALUES ('Leigh',43.20,12345,272,'Sales',''),
( 'Leigh',43.20,12345,289,'Mortgagee','BANK'),
( 'Logan',54.87,55322,NULL,'','' ),
('Simon',28.67,44433,272,'Sales','' ),
( 'Stew',10.18,44422,NULL,'','' ),
('Tim',24.30,33322,272,'Sales','BANK' ),
( 'Tim',24.30,33322,289,'Mortgagee','BANK' ),
( 'Chris',68.22,76345,289,'Mortgagee','BANK' )
;With mycte as (
select *, row_number() Over(Partition by Name Order by tpk DESC) rn from @tmp)
Select Name, balance, tpk, Type, Descr, Field from mycte
Where rn=1
Leigh 43.20 12345 289 Mortgagee BANK
Logan 54.87 55322 null
Simon 28.67 44433 272 Sales
Stew 10.18 44422 null
Tim 24.30 33322 289 Mortgagee BANK
Chris 68.22 76345 289 Mortgagee BANK
It is almost the same as Jonathan Quek provided early.
