Several top numbers in a column T-SQL - tsql

Question

I have a table called _Invoice in SQL Server 2016 - like this:
Company InvoiceNo
-----------------
10 1
10 2
10 3
20 1
20 2
20 3
20 4
I want to get the highest value from all companies.
Like this:
Company InvoiceNo
-----------------
10 3
20 3
I want this data to then update another table that is called InvoiceSeries
where the InvoiceNo is higher than the NextNo in InvoiceSeries table
I am stuck with getting the highest data from InvoiceNo:
UPDATE InvoiceSeries
SET NextNo = -- Highest number from each company--
FROM InvoiceSeries ise
JOIN _Invoice i ON ise.InvoiceSeries = i.InvoiceSeries
WHERE i.InvoiceNo > ise.NextNo
Some example data:
Columns in InvoiceSeries Columns in _Invoices
Company NextNo Company InvoiceNo
10 9007 10 9008
20 1001 10 9009
10 9010
10 9011
10 9012
20 1002
20 1003
20 1004

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, you are looking for the HIGHEST common invoice number
Example
Select A.*
From YourTable A
Join (
Select Top 1 with ties
InvoiceNo
From YourTable
Group By InvoiceNo
Having count(Distinct Company) = (Select count(Distinct Company) From YourTable)
Order By InvoiceNo Desc
) B on A.InvoiceNo=B.InvoiceNo
Returns
Company InvoiceNo
10 3
20 3
EDIT - Updated for comment
Select company
,Invoice=max(invoiceno)
From YourTable
Group By company

Answer 2

This answer assumes there will be a record in the Invoice Series table.
--Insert Sample Data
CREATE TABLE #_Invoice (Company INT, InvoiceNo INT)
INSERT INTO #_Invoice(Company, InvoiceNo)
VALUES
(10 , 1),
(10 , 2),
(10 , 3),
(20 , 1),
(20 , 2),
(20 , 3),
(20 , 4)
CREATE TABLE #InvoiceSeries(Company INT, NextNo INT)
INSERT INTO #InvoiceSeries(Company, NextNo)
VALUES
(10, 1),
(20 ,1)
UPDATE s
SET NextNo = MaxInvoiceNo
FROM #InvoiceSeries s
INNER JOIN (
--Get the Max invoice number per company
SELECT Company, MAX(InvoiceNo) as MaxInvoiceNo
FROM #_Invoice
GROUP BY Company
) i on i.Company = s.Company
AND s.NextNo < i.MaxInvoiceNo --Only join to records where the 'nextno' is less than the max
--Confirm results
SELECT * FROM #InvoiceSeries
DROP TABLE #InvoiceSeries
DROP TABLE #_Invoice
