Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Could you please provide us with a brief example of the data you have and what the desired output should look like?

It's me again, commenting Discoverer questions ... probably very far from the point, but:

Isn't that something like
SELECT MAX(posted_date) 
FROM some_table
WHERE some_condition(s)

Aha. If that's the case, then use subqueries in Discoverer (the funtionality is called something like related workbook, used in conditions - you should be able to find it in the manual).

I tried all the above, but for some reason i'm not getting the expected results. in the discoverer admin i created a custom folder with the SQL in it and when i joined it to the other folder its giving me the ORA01468 ERROR as the other folder is already joined to a 3rd folder.Any advices?

Then either you have defined the master-detail relationships in Discoverer the wrong way around, or your datamodel is very badly designed. Please check the involved master-details first.
