I orginally sent this email to the [novice] list but did not get any response.
I am look for help in developing a query that will return the nearest process
record that was
logged at or after each hour in a day (i.e. hourly snapshot).
Below are typical sample data. Also, I've included a query used to return the
average of the
process value for each hour to give an example for the format that I am trying
to achieve.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Richard
