If u want to fetch last record i.e. the one one having amount as 1000 use the following query :-

select distinct [Bill Number] from (select * from Sontra_task order by [Amount])

It showing the following error.

The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP or FOR XML is also specified.

Hey Thank you bro it works but little problem.
It returns multiple record when i write the following query
SELECT DISTINCT([Bill Number]) as BillNumber,Name,Date,Amount FROM Sontra_task

It works fine when i exclude Amount column ....
