if I understand correctly, and just off the top of my head, using "limit" is one way to do this... The sql pseudo code would be something like: select * from yourtable order by iStoreGrp descending where meterNum = 1 AND valveNum = 3 limit 1 This would grab all the rows, sort them by istoregrp and return the top entry
