Return the latest transactions for all parts

I'd like to query a very large table with millions of records. The query should return the latest transactions for all parts. The final report shows how many quantity on hand for each month.

I give the following example for Part SC198 and SC216. Actually we have thousand of parts.

[Part Number] [Quantity on Hand] [Updated Date]

SC198 30  1/2/2002
SC198 50  1/5/2003
SC198 60  2/3/2007
SC198 70  2/6/2008
SC198 100 3/6/2010
SC198 200 5/2/2010
SC216 10  1/2/2003
SC216 20  2/3/2007
SC216 50  1/1/2010
SC216 80  3/2/2010
SC216 60  4/5/2010

The result for updated date before 3/1/2010 should be

SC198 70 2/6/2008
SC216 50 1/1/2010
..... 
.....

The result for update date before 4/1/2010 should be

SC198 100 3/6/2010
SC216 80  3/2/2010
....
....

The final report should looks like this,

[Part Number] Jan Feb March April May ...

SC198 70 70 100 100 200

SC216 50 50 80 60 60 ...

I tried Max and top(1), it didn't return the right result, please help me.

You've just slyly edited this to turn it into a completely different question. You need to research pivot now.

How about

SELECT TOP(1) ColumnWhatever
FROM MyTable
WHERE UpdatedDate < '3/1/2010'
ORDER BY UpdateDate DESC

This will give you what you want for dates before 2010/05/05 - obviously just change the date as you want. You haven't specified what SQL Server version you're on - this is a 2005+ query as it makes use of the windowed function 'ROW_NUMBER'

DECLARE @EndDate datetime
SET @EndDate = '20100505'

SELECT PartNumber, QtyOnHand, UpdatedDate
  FROM (SELECT PartNumber,  
          QtyOnHand,  
          UpdatedDate,  
          ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY PartNumber ORDER BY UpdatedDate DESC)  
              as __RN
         FROM MyTable
         WHERE UpdatedDate < @EndDate
       ) iDat
 WHERE __RN = 1
