Access 2010 Query to locate most recent item only, when 1 is expected each month

Try this:

Select * 
from table a
where StatementDate = (Select max(Statmentdate) from table b where accountnumber = a.accountnumber)

Select allOpen in new window

The results should be the last statement for each customer.

try this


select a.*
from NameOfTable as a
inner join (select max(b.StatementDate) as MaxDate, b.AccountNumber
           from NameOftable as b
           group by b.AccountNumber ) as c
on a.StatementDate=c.maxDate and  a.AccountNumber =  c.AccountNumber

Sorry with regard to field name sin the query,

The fields AccountNumber and Client Name come from the table Accounts.  The field StatementDate comes from the table Statements.

Try this one with the new table names:

Select *
from Accounts a inner join Statements S on a.accountNumber = s.AccountNumber
where s.statementDate = (Select max(StatementDate) from statements where accountNumber = a.Accountnumber

Select allOpen in new window

try this


select a.*
from Accounts as a
inner join (select max(b.StatementDate) as MaxDate, b.AccountNumber
           from Statements as b
           group by b.AccountNumber ) as c
on a.AccountNumber =  c.AccountNumber

The max(StatementDate) gives me the max statement date in the system. Example: 12/20

I need the max statement date per each account #.

This is my SQL:

SELECT Accounts.AccountNumber AS Account, Statements.StatementDate AS [Last Statement], Accounts.ClientName AS Client, Accounts.Payee, Accounts.Status
FROM Accounts INNER JOIN Statements ON Accounts.[AccountNumber] = Statements.[AccountID]
WHERE Statements.[StatementDate] = (Select max(StatementDate) FROM Statements where AccountNumber = Accounts.AccountNumber)


EXAMPLE OF OUTPUT:  This would show me missing 2 December statements

Account      Last Statement      Client      Payee      Status
12345      11-Nov-13      aaaa      10101      Active
45678      30-Nov-13      bbbb      10102      Active
159623      15-Dec-13      cccc      10103      Closed
111422      30-Dec-13      dddd      10104      Active

Thank You.
