I have an issue where I'm trying to retrieve the latest Date created row out of a ConCat column. But getting an error that it's an invalid name. So I'm guessing you can't do it this way?
Unworking Code:
SELECT
[USER ID],
[GROUP ID],
[DATE CREATED],
concat([USER ID], '_', [GROUP ID]) as CONCAT
FROM [TABLE1]
where
[DATE CREATED] in ( SELECT MAX([DATE CREATED]) from [TABLE1] group by CONCAT)`
TABLE enter image description here
RESULT NEEDED enter image description here
The logic for the original query is likely wrong, anyway, becuase it might allow showing rows from one User ID/Group ID pair that happen to match the max Created Date from a different User ID/Group ID pair.
Instead, this may be a job for a windowing function
WITH Numbered As
(
SELECT
[USER ID],
[GROUP ID],
[DATE CREATED],
row_number() over (Partition By [User ID], [Group ID] Order By [Date Created] DESC) rn
FROM [TABLE1]
)
SELECT
[User ID],
[Group ID],
[Date Created],
[USER ID] + '_' + [GROUP ID] as [Concat]
FROM Numbered
WHERE rn = 1
Or, you might be able to do this completely within a GROUP BY
SELECT
[USER ID],
[GROUP ID],
MAX([DATE CREATED]) AS [Date Created],
[USER ID] + '_' + [GROUP ID] as CONCAT
FROM [TABLE1]
GROUP BY [User ID], [Group ID]
But I suspect this is contrived for the question, and the actual query has more columns in play.
