mbr table

eid      date              mid
1        13/01/2019        15           for eid 1,14 is mid for latest date
1        16/02/2019        14
2        22/06/2019        18           for eid 2,18 is mid for latest date 
2        25/01/2018        17
3        19/05/2019        19           for eid 3,20 is mid for latest date 
3        22/08/2019        20
4        22/09/2019        44           for eid 4,44 is mid for latest date 
4        25/12/2018        49
6        19/05/2019        55           for eid 6,94 is mid for latest date

nm table

mid     nmid
15      100
14      104
18      109
17      108
19      999
20      110
44      222
49      598
55      335
94      195



expected output

nm table

select * from nm where mid in(select mid from mbr where eid in(1,2,4))

mid     nmid
14      100   
14      104
18      109   
18      108
44      222
44      598    


for eid 1,mid 14 is latest when compared to 15 so it should update 15 to 14 in nm table 
for eid 2,mid 18 is latest when compared to 17 so it should update 17 to 18 in nm table
for eid 4,mid 44 is latest when compared to 49 so it should update 49 to 44 in nm table


***The query should update nm table for only specific eid's in mbr table(in our example it should update nm table only for mid's with eid=1,2,4 in mbr table and remaining mid should be unchanged in nm table) and get output in nm table.


What I have tried:

i tried with logic of selecting max date from mbr table and mid for that date and update that mid in nm table.but it is updating with same mid for all.
can you please help on this.

please let me know if any information needed

It's not entirely clear what the relationship is between your tables, or what the conditions are for updating. But something like this should get you started:
SQL
UPDATE
    N
SET
    mid = ML.mid
FROM
    nm As N
    INNER JOIN mbr As M
    ON M.mid = N.mid
    CROSS APPLY
    (
        SELECT TOP 1 mid
        FROM mbr As M2
        WHERE M2.eid = M.eid
        ORDER BY M2.[date] DESC
    ) As ML
WHERE
    N.mid != ML.mid
;
SQL Server CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY[^]

Can this be used with out cross apply?

Possibly, depending on what version of SQL Server you're using.

But what's the problem with using APPLY?
