    My query

    CREATE TABLE quad2017_1
    select distinct
    `a`.`event_id` AS `event_id`,
    `a`.`user_ID` AS `user_ID`,
    `a`.`date` AS `date`,`a`.`Time` AS `Time`,
    `a`.`Noise` AS `Noise`,`a`.`Signal` AS `Signal`
    from (`quadrantids2017` `a` join `quadrantids2017` `b`)
    where ((`a`.`date` = `b`.`date`)
    and (`a`.`user_ID` <> `b`.`user_ID`)
    and ((time_to_sec(`a`.`Time`) - time_to_sec(`b`.`Time`)) between -(1) and 1))
    order by `a`.`date`,`a`.`Time`,`a`.`user_ID`

    produces an output like so (event_id, user_id,date,time)

    33501 1 2017-01-01 01:14:59
    47828 3 2017-01-01 01:15:00

    33503 1 2017-01-01 01:24:48
    47829 3 2017-01-01 01:24:49
    37781 2 2017-01-01 01:24:53

    Is there a way that I can get to to produce this
    (event_id, user_id,date,time) and populate a new field called group

    37776 2 2017-01-01 01:08:45 1
    47827 3 2017-01-01 01:09:07 1

    33501 1 2017-01-01 01:14:59 2
    47828 3 2017-01-01 01:15:00 2

    33503 1 2017-01-01 01:24:48 3
    47829 3 2017-01-01 01:24:49 3
    37781 2 2017-01-01 01:24:53 3

    that way when I display on line I can display in groups

    Regards

    Well, no. Not unless you can get those values from somewhere. How is the group-number decided? There seems to be no correlation between IDs / time / userID and group-id.
    Normally, you would store either the group directly into the table, or you could have another table with group-information, and then link the two on SELECT via a join. Currently, it seems your DB-setup isn't really up to scratch.

    Sorry I was probably not being clear

    the query returned these records and the relationship is the time as in they are events that occur within a second of each other, so the query works and creates a table for the results, somehow I wondered if I could some type of marker to enable me to relate the results so for instance the first 2 are related but without some form of marker once in a table if they were not sorted by date/time I would not know - which event was related to which event - does that make sense ?

    Hello,
    If you are working on SQL Server, following script would work without a problem.
    On other databases systems, if you have Lag() function then it will work again.
    Please keep in mind that CTE expressions might be required to converted into SubSelect statements

    ;with cte as (
    select
        *,
        rn = ROW_NUMBER() over (order by date, time),
        lag(date,1,null) over (order by date, time) lagDate,
        lag(time,1,null) over (order by date, time) lagTime
    from myData
    ), cte2 as (
    select *, DATEDIFF(mi,lagTime,time) SSDiff,
        case
            when rn = 1 then 1
            when (Date = lagDate) and (DATEDIFF(mi,lagTime,time) <= 1) then 0
            else 1
        end as increment
    from cte
    )
    select *, grp = (select sum(t.increment) from cte2 t where cte2.rn >= t.rn)
    from cte2
    Code (SQL):
    for a very similar case you can refer to group table data using SQL Lag function example http://www.kodyaz.com/t-sql/sqlserver-lag-function-to-group-rows-on-column-value.aspx

    Output is as follows

    I hope it helps
