SQL - Spilt timestamp into multiple rows I am dealing with data that needs to be looked at on a shift-to-shift basis (8:00:00 to 20:00:00 and its reciprocal are the two shifts) There are instances where a timestamp (one row) will span longer than a shift. Below is an example of what I am looking for.

                                           Original Timestamp Data

Here is the code I have tried but I am only able to split the data into two rows. SOmething tells me that the &quot;Start Roll&quot; and &quot;End Roll&quot; Columns within #T1 are not going to work in a situation like this.
Declare @DayTurn as DATETIME, @NightTurn As DATETIME, @TodaysDate As DATETIME, @DateCheck As DATETIME, @TimeChange As Integer, @MidNight As DATETIME

Set @DayTurn = '8:00:00'
Set @NightTurn = '20:00:00'
SET @TodaysDate = GETDATE()
SET @DateCheck = CASE WHEN DATEPART( WK, @TodaysDate) &gt;= 7 THEN DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
    ELSE DATEADD(Week,-6,DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
END;

SELECT      
      (Case 
        When cast(Activity.[START_TIME_UTC] as time) &gt;= cast(@DayTurn as time) and cast(Activity.[END_TIME_UTC] as time) &gt; cast(@NightTurn as time) and cast(Activity.[START_TIME_UTC]) as time) &lt; cast(@NightTurn as time) then CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(CHAR(8), DATEADD(hour, @TimeChange, Activity.[END_TIME_UTC]) , 112) + ' ' + CONVERT(CHAR(8), @NightTurn, 108))
        else CONVERT(datetime, Activity.[START_TIME_UTC]) end) as 'START_TIME'
      ,(Case 
        When cast(Activity.[START_TIME_UTC] as time) &lt; cast(@DayTurn as time) and cast(Activity.[END_TIME_UTC]) as time) &lt;= cast(@NightTurn as time) and cast(Activity.[END_TIME_UTC] as time) &gt; cast(@DayTurn as time) then CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(CHAR(8), Activity.[START_TIME_UTC] , 112) + ' ' + CONVERT(CHAR(8), @DayTurn, 108))
        else CONVERT(datetime, Activity.[START_TIME_UTC]) end) as 'Start Roll'
      ,(case
        When cast(Activity.[START_TIME_UTC] as time) &lt; cast(@DayTurn as time) and cast(Activity.[END_TIME_UTC]) as time) &lt;= cast(@NightTurn as time) and cast(Activity.[END_TIME_UTC] as time) &gt; cast(@DayTurn as time) then CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(CHAR(8), Activity.[START_TIME_UTC], 112) + ' ' + CONVERT(CHAR(8), @DayTurn, 108))
        else CONVERT(datetime, Activity.[END_TIME_UTC]) end ) As 'END_TIME'
      ,(Case
        When cast(Activity.[START_TIME_UTC] as time) &gt;= cast(@DayTurn as time) and cast(Activity.[END_TIME_UTC] as time) &gt; cast(@NightTurn as time) and cast(Activity.[START_TIME_UTC] as time) &lt; cast(@NightTurn as time) then CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(CHAR(8), Activity.[END_TIME_UTC] , 112) + ' ' + CONVERT(CHAR(8), @NightTurn, 108))
        else CONVERT(datetime, Activity.[END_TIME_UTC]) end) as 'End Roll'
      
      into #T1

  FROM [MY_DATA] as Activity
  Where Activity.[START_TIME_UTC] &gt;= @DateCheck


SELECT * INTO #T2 from(
Select 
    temp.[START_TIME]
    ,temp.[END_TIME]
From #T1 as temp
UNION
Select
    temp.[Start Roll]
    ,temp.[End Roll]
From #T1 as temp
) as temp;


SELECT 
  *
FROM #T2 
Order By START_TIME;

Drop Table #T1
Drop Table #T2

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
I don't know if this is the best way to do it but it works.
I'm using a reference table that contains all the shifts and and running the select against it. In this case, I used variable for the start and end timestamp but you can reproduce using your column.
declare @start as datetime 
declare @end as datetime 
set @start='2020-07-16 04:54:50' 
set @end='2020-07-27 06:36:14'

-- You could write a dynamic SQL query to populate this table but I went with raw data for simplicity
create table #calendar (shift_start datetime, shift_end datetime)
insert into #calendar values
