Hi
I have the following table
CREATE TABLE TempTable(
RowID INT,
AssetCode VARCHAR(50) NULL,
WorkOrder VARCHAR(10) NULL,
RequiredByDate DATETIME,
TimeDown TIME,
ReportText varchar(100))
INSERT INTO TempTable (RowId,AssetCode,WorkOrder,RequiredByDate,TimeDown,ReportText) VALUES (1000,'LH5635','S15214','2016-08-27 02:00:00.000','11:39','Weekly Service')
INSERT INTO TempTable (RowId,AssetCode,WorkOrder,RequiredByDate,TimeDown,ReportText) VALUES (1002,'LH5766','S15201','2016-08-26 02:00:00.000','11:37','Task Proposed')
INSERT INTO TempTable (RowId,AssetCode,WorkOrder,RequiredByDate,TimeDown,ReportText) VALUES (1003,'LH5766','R08595','2016-08-31 09:02:43.640','10:22','Weekly Electrical')
INSERT INTO TempTable (RowId,AssetCode,WorkOrder,RequiredByDate,TimeDown,ReportText) VALUES (1004,'DS7180','S15161','2016-08-24 02:00:00.000','11:31','Reflective Tape')
INSERT INTO TempTable (RowId,AssetCode,WorkOrder,RequiredByDate,TimeDown,ReportText) VALUES (1005,'DS7180','S15162','2016-08-24 02:00:00.000','11:31','Inspection')
INSERT INTO TempTable (RowId,AssetCode,WorkOrder,RequiredByDate,TimeDown,ReportText) VALUES (1006,'DS7296','R00040','2016-08-31 09:11:03.167','02:00','Engine Replacement')
INSERT INTO TempTable (RowId,AssetCode,WorkOrder,RequiredByDate,TimeDown,ReportText) VALUES (1007,'LB5180',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL)
I need to return minimum records based on asset Code,
my result should be rows 1000,1002,1004,1006,1007

SELECT RowId, AssetCode, WorkOrder, RequiredByDate, TimeDown, ReportText

FROM (

SELECT RowId, AssetCode, WorkOrder, RequiredByDate, TimeDown, ReportText,

rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY AssetCode ORDER BY RowID)

FROM #TempTable

) d

WHERE rn = 1

ORDER BY RowID

thank you for the quick response,

my question is now, I technically I don't have ROWId in my table, I've it there In the example so I can distinguish easily which rows I need to return.

If you remove rowId completely from the table, how should it be?

for clarification....what rule are you intending to use for why you want 1004 and not 1005 ?

what I want is the record with the minimum date per asset, in the case of 1004 and 1005 the date is the same and 1004 is the minimum record, that I can distinguish by workorder it's minimum

if the date is the same then I need minimum workorder.

I hope it's clear

I hope it's clear

then alter the row_number function to order by requiredbydate and work order
