    I'm trying to create a query with multiple columns. The CandidateID column includes values that appear more than once. I need my query to return the latest CandidateID value and to exclude the older CandidateID values of the same ID number.

    Like this?

    select CandidateID, max(YourDateColumn)

    from YourTable

    group by CandidateID
