Retrive Last 3 Actions by Project 1

[johnve]

Hi , I have a database where in one table I have a list of my projects and in the second table I a list of actions which are linked to the project. I want to run a query then report on the last 3 actions for each project. I have tried SELECT TOP 3 but it only gives my top 3 in that table not by each project.

Can anyone help me.. Thanks

You can use a query with a subquery. Since you didn't provide and table or field information maybe you can modify this example of the most recent three Orders for each CustomerID in the Northwind Orders table:

SELECT Orders.OrderID, Orders.CustomerID, Orders.OrderDate, Orders.RequiredDate, Orders.ShippedDate, Orders.Freight
FROM Orders
WHERE (((Orders.OrderID) In (SELECT TOP 3 OrderID from Orders O where O.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID ORDER BY OrderDate Desc)))
ORDER BY Orders.CustomerID, Orders.OrderDate DESC;
