SQL Calculating The best salesman of the day
asked on
Hello Experts,
I have a table that contains information as follows:
SalesID, NumbSales, SalesDate
So: if salesman X sells 23 widgets on thursday, 30 widgets on friday, and 50 on Saturday
if salesman Y sell 14 widgets on Thursday, 33 widgets on friday and 42 widgets on saturday
my table looks like this:
rwid SalesID NumbSales SalesDate
10 | 1 | 23 | '2012-07-06'|
11 | 2 | 14 | '2012-07-06'|
12 | 1 | 30 | '2012-07-07'|
13 | 2 | 33 | '2012-07-07'|
14 | 1 | 50 | '2012-07-08'|
15 | 2 | 42 | '2012-07-08'|
How can I get the salesmans ID who had the max sales for the day?
So I get:
10 | 1 | 23 | '2012-07-06'|
13 | 2 | 33 | '2012-07-07'|
14 | 1 | 50 | '2012-07-08'|
Thank you in advance!
