I'm trying to group some sub categories with a concatenated result. I'm trying 
to get the max sub for each item per month. I think it should be fairly easy 
but it is kicking my butt. My data looks like this,
 
+--------+--------+------+ 
| month  |  item  | sub  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   8    |    5   | NULL |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   8    |    4   |   a  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   8    |    6   | NULL |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   8    |    6   |   a  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   8    |    5   |   a  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   8    |    4   |   b  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    1   | NULL |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    2   | NULL |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    1   |   a  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    3   | NULL |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    2   |   a  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    1   |   b  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    4   | NULL |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    4   |   a  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    2   |   b  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   9    |    1   |   c  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   10   |    1   | NULL |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   10   |    1   |   a  |
+--------+--------+------+ 
|   10   |    2   | NULL |
+--------+--------+------+ 
 
I'm not having a problem getting a concatenated result but I am having 
difficulty getting my data grouped correctly. My results should look like this.
+-----------+
| MAX Group |
+-----------+
|   8-4b    |
+-----------+
|   8-5a    |
+-----------+
|   8-6a    |
+-----------+
|   9-1c    |
+-----------+
|   9-2b    |
+-----------+
|   9-3     |
+-----------+
|   9-4a    |
+-----------+
|   10-1a   |
+-----------+
|   10-2    |
+-----------+


- Thanks in advance
