Hi,
I want to create query where I could group records by quarters, and get
the last record in each group.

e.g
Create Table MyTable
(
Value [float],
date[datetime]
)
Insert into MyTable (value, [date]) values (100, '1-1-2000')
Insert into MyTable (value, [date]) values (110, '1-2-2000')
Insert into MyTable (value, [date]) values (120, '1-3-2000')
Insert into MyTable (value, [date]) values (130, '1-4-2000')
Insert into MyTable (value, [date]) values (140, '1-5-2000')
Insert into MyTable (value, [date]) values (150, '1-6-2000')
Insert into MyTable (value, [date]) values (160, '1-7-2000')

Now I would like to get this data grouped by quarter, and get the last
value from each quarter. So here I would like to get result like this
(120, q1 -2000)
(150, q2 -2000)
(160, q3 -2000)
I know how to create aggregate functions but I have problem with getting
that last record from each group.
