Hi 

Try like below

SET DateFormat='M/D/YYYY';

Table1:

Load ID, City, Status, Timestamp from yourtable;

Inner join(Table1)

Load ID, Date(Max(Timestamp)) as Timestamp resident Table1 group by ID;

Hi, I have a code like yours to get the last date, but I do use a left join table, whats the difference exactly? I mean, i know what left and inner do separate joins, left joining only the origin table values and inner only when they are both the same, more or less, but I don´t know if my Left Join it´s better to be changed by an inner join.

Thanks!

in above scenario both will work in same way!

but if you have large dataset then please check both scenarios and whichever will be fast do that

Thanks

Hi

It depends on scenario, 

For ex: if you want to create a flag for maximum timestamp, instead of reducing the remaining dates, then go with left join and create a flag when MaxDate and Date are same.
