"Last" based on what criteria. Tables have no order, so you must order by something to get the "last" value.

Hi @gholamreza rezaie ，

As Olaf said, the LAST function is not a built-in function of SQL Server,it is only supported in MS Access.In SQL Server, the LAST function can be replaced by the method mentioned by Erland.

Applied to your code should look like this:

SELECT TOP 1 Fee FROM i  
LEFT JOIN r  
ON r.condition=i.condition  
ORDER BY [DATE] DESC;

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

If so, then we need to use another method.
Please try:

;WITH cte as(SELECT Fee,itemtitle, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY itemtitle ORDER BY Fee DESC) rr FROM i LEFT JOIN r ON r.condition=i.condition) SELECT * FROM cte WHERE rr=1;

If this doesn't solve your problem,please share us your table structure (CREATE TABLE …) and some sample data(INSERT INTO …)
along with your expected result.

LAST is not a valid Transact SQL command.

Please post table design as DDL, some sample data as DML statement and the expected result.

Maybe:

SELECT TOP 1 Fee
FROM ...
ORDER BY Date DESC

But this is quite much a guess on my part of what you are looking for.
