Need a distinct result set

  • Hello, I have the below data stored in a temp table:

    I need to get the distinct data to include last_name, first_name, Department, work_ext and ordered by access_time descending.  I cannot have the access_time column in the result set.  Is there a way to easily accomplish this using a CTE or some other method?  Please provide a solution.

    Thank you,
    D

    With >2,000 points, you should know that we would need DDL, INSERT statements etc in order to provide a working solution.

    Having said that, with >2,000 points you should also be able to write this in your sleep. What have you tried so far?

  • You guys are absolutely right.  Sorry, I was in a production crisis with another issue and I was looking for a lifeline to get this one off my plate.  I have it now.  Thank you!
