sql server (microsoft) : Query
Hi All,
I have a table that has records for commission splits on products -- one record for each person involved in the product and his split Product Person Split 123 100 50 123 101 50 124 102 72 124 101 28 I need to product a report and pick out the person with the largest split, so for product 124 its a no brainer. But for product 123, I just need an arbitrary selection, but only one, and I don't care which one. I'm joining this table with my product master file on product id. Thanks in advance. Richard Mogy
Rich - There are a couple ways to do this, but I like the following approach
(you could also do a self-join): select top 1 y.product, y.person, y.split from yourTable y where split = (select max(y2.split) from yourTable y2 where y2.product = y.product) [quoted text, click to view] "Rich Mogy" <rmogy@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:aVQLf.35104$Jd.25841@newssvr25.news.prodigy.net... > Hi All, > I have a table that has records for commission splits on products -- one > record for each person involved in the product and his split > > Product Person Split > 123 100 50 > 123 101 50 > 124 102 72 > 124 101 28 > > I need to product a report and pick out the person with the largest split, > so for product 124 its a no brainer.

Thanks for the input. I'll try it.

I spoke too soon -- the SQL, as written only produces one row -- I need one
row for each product. [quoted text, click to view] "Rich Mogy" <rmogy@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:jyMMf.40997$H71.18523@newssvr13.news.prodigy.com... > Thanks for the input.

select y.product, y.person, y.split
