I need to select the rows based on the
latest 'Payment_due_date' column value.
Let's say I have a Deski report with 3 columns:
Payment_due_date,
Cust_Name,
Oustanding_Amt.

Report is like this:
=====================================
Payment_due_date,Cust_Name,Oustanding_Amt
02/28/11 , Bob, 115
03/31/11 , Bob, 90
02/28/11 , Mike, 120
02/28/11 , Susan, 220
05/31/11 , Bob, 80,
03/31/11 , Susan, 70
05/31/11 , Mike, 220
05/31/11 , Susan, 120
04/30/11 , Susan, 130

So,we would like to see (based on latest Payment_due_date)
==================
05/31/11 , Bob, 80,
05/31/11 , Mike, 220
05/31/11 , Susan, 120

Oustanding_Amt comes as SUM(Oustanding_Amt) from Universe.
If we use Max(Payment_due_date),we do get one row but then,
the column 'Oustanding_Amt' sums up.
Not allowed to use do SQL Override .Context Operators
aren't working.

Thanks in advance:)

Answer / rajitha praburam

You can get the required results by using RANK function.

Create an object 'Rank' with Number Data type and the below
select option.

RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY CUST_NAME ORDER BY
PAYMENT_DUE_DATE DESC)

In the report, use report level filter add Rank = 1
condition.

You can achieve this by having a condition.
i.e put payment_date in condition panel-->select operator
as "equal to"-->operand "calculation"-->follow the
steps"select object(payement_date)"-->select function
(maximum)-->Globally-->for each value of one or more objects
