I am trying to populate a table with multiple records from another table. I have a table which contains records of an employee's schedule. Each record contains a single incident of a date and time for 1 employee: Fields are:

ScheduleID = unique record identifier
ScheduleName = identifies the schedule
ScheduleLine = identifies the line on the schedule grid
Position = the schedule employee position filled (not necessarily the
same as the employees postion)
ADP_ID = employee identifier
ScheduleBeginDay = what day of the week the schedule begins (usually
Monday)
ShiftName = shift worked
ScheduleStart = date and time employee is scheduled to clock in
ScheduleEnd = date and time employee is scheduled to clock out
RecordActive = is record active or deleted

I need to convert this to look like a schedule grid in the application as well as in reports. That is 1 line in the grid = up to 7 of the previous records (Monday – Sunday)
The code below works but ONLY if there is a person in the position on day 1. This is usually but not always the case. the question is "How do i create 1 line of output for each line (position) on the schedule (as long as at least 1 person is working at least 1 day in that position at least one day during the week)?

SQL:
declare @startdate as datetime
set @startdate = '4/1/19'

select 
   day1.ScheduleLine,
   day1.ScheduleName,
   day1.ScheduleBeginDay,
   day1.ShiftName,
   day1.ScheduleStart,
   day1.ScheduleEnd,
   day1.Position,
   day1.ADP_ID,
   Emp1.FirstName,
   Emp1.LastName,
   day2.ADP_ID,
   Emp2.FirstName,
   Emp2.LastName,
   day3.ADP_ID,
   Emp3.FirstName,
   Emp3.LastName,
   day4.ADP_ID,
   Emp4.FirstName,
   Emp4.LastName,
   day5.ADP_ID,
   Emp5.FirstName,
   Emp5.LastName,
   day6.ADP_ID,
   Emp6.FirstName,
   Emp6.LastName,
   day7.ADP_ID,
   Emp7.FirstName,
   Emp7.LastName
