Ok, so my brain lept straight to the answer after reading highest priority. I'd like to hope the OP can work it out from that though.

Next time before posting please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code (See SQL Formatter), use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version with 4 decimals.

And post a working Test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data.


Regards
Michel

You can use 'MIN function' and 'group by' as one of the ways to achieve your functionality
