Retreiving the last amount billed to a customer (dynamically in the Query)

Question

Hi,
I want to retrieve the last amount billed to a customer.
For example :
r/3 data :
Customer____Billing date__Amount
1___________04/04/2006____5000
1___________05/05/2006____1200
2___________03/04/2006____400
The result i would like to get in the report :
Customer___Amount
1__________1200
2___________400
I tried many ways including Key figures agreg. Exception.
Do you have any suggestion ?
best regards,
ludo

Hi,
The date of the data loading has no impact on the selection of the last value. In december, you can load the historical data of 2005, 2004 and 2003. The data will be stamped on 2005, 2004 or 2003 (dates of reference from the documents).
So, in your case, the query would give you the first load as a result of the last value. But you are using 0CALDAY in your example. Of course, you would not be able to use 0CALMONTH in such scenario, because you do not bill only once a month.
Now, please notice that the last value is based as well on the execution of the query. Is your query analyzing all december? Imagine that your query is filtered from 01.12.2006 to 14.12.2006, then you get only the second load.
This is a double setting.
