Your field value dodesn't seem to be a single datatype. Sometimes a number, sometimes a date, sometimes a time.
Not something you should try summing.
Think yoou need to simplify the data structure first.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

should be doing something like this i guess


SELECT EntityItemId,SUM(IntVal) AS Total
FROM
(
SELECT EntityItemId,
CAST(MAX(CASE WHEN FieldID = 19 THEN FieldValue ELSE NULL END) AS datetime) AS DtVal,
CAST(MAX(CASE WHEN FieldID = 21 THEN FieldValue ELSE NULL END) AS int) AS IntVal,
...
FROM table
GROUP BY EntityItemId
)t
WHERE DtVal > = '20111220' AND DtVal < '20111221'
GROUP BY EntityItemId
