Grouping and Filtering Rows in MSSQL Query with Maximum Value Calculation
Grouping and Max in MSSQL Query In this article, we will explore how to group rows from two tables based on a common column (in this case, ArtNumber), then apply a maximum value calculation to the grouped data. We’ll also discuss how to filter the results to show only those groups where the Price is less than the corresponding value in the second table. Background To understand this problem, let’s first look at the two tables:
