   Hello,   
      
   SQL-92:   
      
   select distinct customernumber   
   from t1   
   where customernumber not in (select customernumber from t1 where   
   customerbranch is null)   
      
   SQL-99 (probably faster):   
      
   select distinct customernumber from   
     (select customernumber, first_value(customerbranch) over (partition by   
   customernumber order by customerbranch desc) first   
      from t1)   
   where first is not null
