Having issues doing a Summarize tool for a unique situation

CDIns

I essentially have two datasets that I am trying to extract information from one and append to the other. For example, In my 'Sales' report, I have a record that looks like this:

 

ProductDateAmountUnits
A 20 

 

 

I need to population the date and the ending units for the month using my transactional level data set that looks like this:

 
 
ProductDateAmountUnits
A07/01/2024510
A07/22/2024515
A07/24/2024520
A07/28/2024525

 

basically a transaction report, however, the Units column is a running total. I'd like to be be able to summarize this data set into the following: 

 

 
ProductDateAmountUnits
A07/28/20242025

 

grouping by product for the total amount of sales with the ending units balance with the last date populated.

 

Any ideas how to achieve? 

 

 

thank you in advance,

Instead of summing on Units, do a Max function in your Summarize tool!

Hi @CDIns 

You will need to set the Summarize Tool As follow:
Group by Product
Last Date
Sum Amount
Max Unit as mentioned by @alexnajm
