Returning summary data SQL
My data looks like so -- column 1 is day, column 2 is week of year and column 3 is value
2009-05-05 00:00:00.000 19 8.00
2009-05-06 00:00:00.000 19 16.00
2009-05-07 00:00:00.000 19 24.00
2009-05-08 00:00:00.000 19 32.00
2009-05-09 00:00:00.000 19 32.00
2009-05-10 00:00:00.000 20 32.00
2009-05-11 00:00:00.000 20 40.00
2009-05-12 00:00:00.000 20 48.00
2009-05-13 00:00:00.000 20 56.00
2009-05-14 00:00:00.000 20 68.00
2009-05-15 00:00:00.000 20 64.00
2009-05-16 00:00:00.000 20 64.00
i want to return the following 2 rows
19 32
20 64
where the value returned corresponds to the final day of the week. MAX(value) wont work because values earlier in the week can be higher than the final day of the week.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the help...
after tinkering a bit, i went with the following query.
SELECT a.column1 ,a.column3 FROM MyTable a
where a.column1 in (select max(column1)from MyTable
group by column2)

You should know that 7 will be SAT. If that's not what you want use the appropriate number representation of the day of the week you want. Regardless you can use this function to select only the records from the last day of each week.
