Access SQL query: find the row with the most recent date for each distinct entry in a table

Question

All,

I\'m sure this is a pretty simple SQL query question, but I\'m sure there\'s a good way, and a very BAD way, to do this. Left to my own devices, I\'m liable to end

If you need both the date and the value, you need to do a join:

SELECT ID, Value,As_of 
from yourTable a inner join 
          (SELECT ID, MAX(As_of) as As_of 
          from yourTable group by ID) b 
on a.ID=b.ID and a.As_of = b.As_of
