Hi Bob,

I do not suppose you could use this statement in the sqlview since that’s limited to Select statements. I recall Jason mentioned that the only way they are able to manage a WASH Program needing just the last current value is to dump the data and post updates though the web api. This seems to be way too much maintenance and would be better if one could use an sql statement like yours instead.

Thanks

Regards,
Busoye
