    I’m trying to get the last active data and insert that in the current row of the table. Create table latest_value ( year int, [name] varchar(50), last_active varchar(50) )

    go

    Insert into latest_value Select 2010, 'Avinash', 'active' Union All Select 2011, 'Avinash','active' Union All select 2010,'Rahul','active' Union All Select 2012, 'Avinash','inactive'

    SELECT * FROM latest_value

    year name last_active
    2010 Avinash active
    2011 Avinash active
    2010 Rahul active
    2012 Avinash inactive

    Desired output
    year name last_active Status
    2010 Rahul active 2010
    2012 Avinash inactive 2011

    Thanks in advance for the help!
