Hello,

I am trying to get the price for the MAX (Date) for the following list:
SecID Price Date
IBM 84.23 1/1/2007
IBM 83.21 1/2/2007
IBM 85.16 1/3/2007

So, SQL should return IBM, 85.16, 1/3/2007

I cannot create a stored procedure or function to do this. Must be a view. Looking at derived tables and correlated subqueries. Realize it looks pretty easy.
Any help greatly appreciated

On T1.SecId= T2.SecIdand T1.Date = T2.MaxDate

If you need only record of maximum date, then

Select top 1 columns from table
order by date desc
