Hi,
I have data in a table as follows:

Key date

101 4/25/2006
101 4/26/2006
101 4/27/2006
101 4/28/2006
101 5/25/2006
101 5/26/2006
101 5/30/2006


I need the max of date for each month. So my output expected is:
101 4/28/2006
101 5/30/2006

How can I get this? Please help

FOR:-

101 4/25/2006

101 4/27/2006
101 4/28/2006
101 5/25/2006
101 5/26/2006
101 5/30/2006

TRY:-

101 60425
101 60426
101 60427
101 60428
101 60525
101 60526
101 60530

This gives you the opportunity of SORTING.

Transposing data is not the best answer. Do you actually know anything about SQL?

What you need to do is use a subquery. You need to create a query that adds a column to identify the month. You then need to use the TOP 1 qualifier and sort by date in descending order and group by month. This query is then used as a subquery in an IN clause to restrict your result set.
