Hi Mahesh,

You need to first sort the Data

T1:

LOAD ID,

     PRODUCT,

     SALES,

     DATE

FROM

[.............................................................xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

T2:

LOAD *

Resident T1

order by DATE ASC;

drop table T1;

LET Vpeek1=peek('DATE',-1,'T2');

Is your data sorted as per Date? What value is the variable returning?

Try like:

    PRODUCT,

    SALES,

    DATE

FROM

[.............................................................xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Temp:

Load

          max(DATE) as MaxDate

Resident T1;

LET Vpeek1=peek('MaxDate');

Drop Table Temp;

Mahesh , if you are looking for Incremental load then Tresco way is the correct or your may also Order by the data by Date field (provided if the dates are numeric) then you can use Peek to get the max value.
