Hi Mike,

I work a lot with statistics, what I do basically is,

n  put results ORDER BY  into a temp table and

n  add an autonum row

then you can work/select the data however you want

Betreff: [RBASE-L] - Selecting a row using count and order by DESC

 

Hi All,

I am trying to select values from a row based on count. It seems to work as
expected when the order is ascending, but nothing changes when I make the
order descending.

 

ColA       ColB

-------------------

abc           1

def            2

ghi            3

 

When I do this....

 

SELECT ColA into vdata i1 from table where count =1 order by ColB ASC

then I get the variable

vdata = abc

 

When I do this....

 

SELECT ColA into vdata from table where count =1 order by ColB DESC
*(changed ASC to DESC)

then I still get 

vdata = abc  

 

What I want is to get when the order is DESC

vdata = ghi

 

What am I doing wrong?

Is what I want possible?

Mike
