I don’t recall when I wrote this SQL view, but I stumbled across it when I was looking for something else and thought it worth posting.
It uses a common table expression to return the most recent five purchase orders for each vendor.
-- drop view if it exists
IF OBJECT_ID(N'uv_AZRCRV_MostRecentFivePurchaseOrdersByVendor ', N'V') IS NOT NULL
DROP VIEW uv_AZRCRV_MostRecentFivePurchaseOrdersByVendor
GO
-- create view
CREATE VIEW uv_AZRCRV_MostRecentFivePurchaseOrdersByVendor AS

As it is written as a view, it can easily be used in SmartList Designer, SmartList Builder, Refreshable Excel Reports, SSRS or other reporting tools.
