Hi. Please help me with this:
I had the question bellow and I got an answer from LB. It was very good, but now I noticed in the report a mov appears more than once; appears for every job.


I have a group on job. How do I take only the mov which have the latest date?

job mov date
1059 GCI4410 25/04/2011
ICI4443 08/05/2011

1058 GCI4410 25/04/2011

1060 GII1060727 13/06/2011
ICI4514 05/07/2011

1061 GII1060844 29/05/2011
ICI4487 14/06/2011

1065 ICI4543 25/07/2011

1064 GCI4493 19/06/2011
ICI4561 11/08/2011

1062 GCI4493 19/06/2011
ICI4561 11/08/2011

1068 GCI4507 08/07/2011
ICI4543 25/07/2011

1069 ICI4582 08/08/2011


Desired output

job mov date
1059 ICI4443 08/05/2011

1058 GCI4410 25/04/2011

1060 ICI4514 05/07/2011

1061 ICI4487 14/06/2011

1065 ICI4543 25/07/2011

1064 ICI4561 11/08/2011

1062 ICI4561 11/08/2011

1068 ICI4543 25/07/2011

Go to report->selection formula->GROUP and enter:

{table.date}=maximum({table.date},{table.job})

If you need to do calculations across jobs, be sure to use running totals, since non-group-selected records are still "in" the report, though not displayed, and would contribute to the more usual subtotals. Unlike suppression, with group selection, you don't have to explicitly exclude non-group-selected records.



Now appears like this:



1059 ICI4443 08/05/2011

1058 GCI4410 25/04/2011

1060 ICI4514 05/07/2011

1050 ICI4443 08/05/2011

1061 ICI4487 14/06/2011

1065 ICI4543 25/07/2011

1064 ICI4561 11/08/2011

1062 ICI4561 11/08/2011

1068 ICI4543 25/07/2011

1051 ICI4443 08/05/2011

1069 ICI4582 08/08/2011

Any idea?
