                                            | Hi,I'm trying to sort the last sales of each store. Let's say I have a data set like this:StoreNo TransactionDate5         2011-12-07 00:59:32.7504         2011-12-07 00:56:85.7505         2011-12-07 00:30:32.7501         2011-12-07 00:55:32.750And result would look like this:StoreNo    LastTransaction5          2011-12-07 00:59:32.7504          2011-12-07 00:56:85.7501          2011-12-07 00:55:32.750This could be achieved easily using Rank() in sqlserver 2005 but I need it to work on 2000. Anyone who could help me? |
