Calcite | Level 5


Hello,

I would like help finding the max value for each meter. My data is below.

Meter     date            hr1     hr2     hr3     hr4     hr5

123        1/1/2015      2        15      6        7        13

234        1/1/2015      40       10      3       1        0

345        1/1/2015      12       15     6       24      12

456        1/1/2015      2        18      5        6        11

567        1/1/2015      2        10      33       1        21

And I want it to look like...

Meter     date           MaxVal

123        1/1/2015      15

234        1/1/2015      40     

345        1/1/2015     24     

456        1/1/2015     18     

567        1/1/2015     33
