So I have 2 rows of data:

 

Customer nameDate
xyz

1/5/2021

xyz2/5/2021
mno1/3/2021
mno5/3/2021
abc7/6/2021

 

and I want to just take out the records for the latest date for each unique customer.

 

expected output:

Customer namedate
xyz2/5/2021
mno5/3/2021

abc

7/6/2021

 

and I'm unable to do so because I just have 2 rows and even though the customer names are the same but the dates are different it considers it as a unique record.

 

what should I do to get the expected output I have 12000 rows of such data.
