Hi, I could not seem to find an appropriate answer to my question. I need to separate out a record based on the latest date.

Sample data attached, some records are duplicated as with Amy and Jamie, I need to obtain their latest employer based on the last end date, also include blank fields which could indicate a current employer.

 

Any suggestions?

Sort by name ascending , and end date by descending this will ensure the null values are first and then use summarize to group by name and all other columns first . give it a try and see if it serves your purposeCapture.PNG
