Solution 1

All you need to do is to group data by ItemCode to get MAX(PurchaseDate) then join Price:

SQL

SELECT a.ItemCode, a.PurchaseDate, a.Price
FROM Trn_Purchase AS a INNER JOIN (
    SELECT  b.ItemCode, MAX(b.PurchaseDate) AS PurchaseDate 
    FROM Trn_Purchase AS b
    GROUP BY b.ItemCode
) AS c ON a.ItemCode = c.ItemCode AND a.PurchaseDate = c.PurchaseDate

Thanks Alot, but showing "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specific expression 'Price' as part of an aggregate function"
