Removing duplicate items within a category
Hi,
I have a table which appears below: ITEM PRICE DATE Paper clips 0.89 2/2/06 Paper clips 1.29 2/12/07 Stapler 2.57 12/29/05 Stapler 2.99 1/5/07 How do I write a query which will show the most recent cost for each item? I am hoping for a result as shown below: ITEM PRICE DATE Paper clips 1.29 2/12/07 Stapler 2.99 1/5/07 Thanks in advance for your help!

One way
SELECT ITEM, PRICE, [Date] FROM [Yourtable] WHERE [YourTable].[Date] = (SELECT Max([Date]) FROM [YourTable] as Temp WHERE Temp.Item = [YourTable].Item If that is too slow, post back with a copy of the SQL (View: SQL) and I'll suggest a faster but more complex alternative. -- John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007 Center for Health Program Development and Management University of Maryland Baltimore County ..
