Hello together,

i have a data.frame, like this one:
                 No.          Change           Date          
A              123           final                2013-01-15
B              123           error               2013-01-16
C              123           bug fixed       2013-01-17
D              111           final                2013-01-12

and now a want a new data.frame which includes only the newest entry for
each number.
The solution look like this:
                 No.          Change           Date          
C              123           bug fixed       2013-01-17
D              111           final                2013-01-12

is there any way to filter my data.frame to the latest data, perhabs "max"?

Thanks.

Mat
