I have this data in tableA:

[pre]
PARCEL_KEY ADJ_DATE ADJ_TOTAL[blue]
5183 11/10/2021 2:53:39 PM -12640[/blue]
5183 11/10/2021 2:52:52 PM -13640[blue]

I would like to select [blue]BLUE[/blue] records only, which are records with the latest ADJ_DATE per PARCEL_KEY field.
Actually, I just need PARCEL_KEY and ADJ_TOTAL fields from the blue records.

I know I can ask for MAX(ADJ_DATE)... GROUP BY PARCEL_KEY, but how can I get the ADJ_TOTAL for those records?

Something like this:
Code:
SELECT parcel_key, adj_total
FROM tableA a
     INNER JOIN (SELECT parcel_key, MAX(adj_date) AS adate
                   FROM tableA
                  GROUP BY parcel_key) v
     ON a.parcel_key = v.parcel_key
        AND a.adj_date = v.adate;
 
Thanks carp,
After rocking my brain yesterday, I consulted with my co-worker and he came up with the same solution. [thumbsup2]
