Using Oracle, PSQL, I am trying to figure out the earliest invoice date for each supplier. That would be simple enough, but I am also trying to figure out the max distribution line on the earliest invoice so I can determine what segment of the business the invoice belongs to. Segment is determined by SEGMENT_NUMBER in the example below. I know a sub query or multiple sub queries are needed here with a group by clause but I am at a loss. The syntax below is not even close, but I wanted to provided something for feedback.
SELECT
SUPPLIER_ID,
INVOICE_NUMBER,
SEGMENT_NUMBER,
MIN(INVOICE_DATE) as EARLIEST_INV_DATE,
MAX(DISTRIBUTION_AMOUNT) as MAX_DIST_LINE
FROM INVOICE_DIST

Use Analytical function like RANK()
.
SELECT SUPPLIER_ID,
INVOICE_NUMBER,
SEGMENT_NUMBER,
INVOICE_DATE,DISTRIBUTION_AMOUNT
(SELECT SUPPLIER_ID,
INVOICE_NUMBER,
SEGMENT_NUMBER,
INVOICE_DATE,DISTRIBUTION_AMOUNT,
RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY SUPPLIER_ID ORDER BY INVOICE_DATE,DISTRIBUTION_AMOUNT DESC) POSITION FROM INVOICE_DIST) TBL WHERE POSITION=1;
