In the example above it should pull So, after reading the replies to you, it seemed to me you need to sort according to first item_nbr and then location. After that, you select the FIRST of these numbers. After that you only select those with CORPORATIVO. Or reject any/all duplicates of item_nbr and then only subselect location after that rejection. Other than that, I don't think there is an easy way to select more than one records based on two different unrelated selections, unless Sri h Kolusu has a magic wand for this one too. Of course, if there is a good solution, I am all ears for it!
