Max with Text data

I need to get the Max (or latest) Version by FullBuildID, problem is the FullBuildID is not a numeric value so when I use Max it returns a 0. Here is a sample of my data:

 

ProductVersionFull Build ID
A1616.0.00.0023.03
A1616.0.00.0020.02
A1616.0.00.0020.03
B1616.1.00.0040.57
B77.5.00.0000.00

 

Desired output:

ProductVersionFull Build ID
A1616.0.00.0023.03
B1616.1.00.0040.57
   
   
   

 

 

thanks in advance for your assistance!

  • You could create a new column like this:

     

    FullBuildNum = SUBSTITUTE([Full Build ID],".","")

    Switch the column to Whole Number.
