hi,
suppose that I have the following table already sorted in this specific way:
company | date | number |
---|---|---|
A | 31/11/2010 | 1 |
A | 31/11/2010 | 2 |
B | 22/1/2009 | 2 |
C | 1/1/2008 | 1 |
I just need the first row for each company-date combination so that the final result is:
company | date | number |
---|---|---|
A | 31/11/2010 | 1 |
B | 22/1/2009 | 2 |
C | 1/1/2008 | 1 |
thank you!
