I have following model in django

Business ID
Business Name
Business Revenue
Date

Here is the sample data:

Business ID | Business Name | Business Revenue | Date
1             B1              1000               2012-10-13
2             B2              20000              2013-10-16
1             B1              2000               2013-04-13
2             B2              24000              2014-09-02

I want to fetch all businesses having latest date.

Here is the output I want:

Business ID | Business Name | Business Revenue | Date
1             B1              2000               2013-04-13
2             B2              24000              2014-09-02

I have tried this:

model.objects.filter(date__gte = date.today()).order_by('business_id', '-date')

This is giving me group of businesses having latest business in each group at the top of it. How do I omit the rest of rows? I need some assistance

Try this:

from django.db.models import Q

group_dict = Model.objects.values('business_id').annotate(max_date=Max('date')).order_by()

params = Q()
for obj in group_dict:
    params |= (Q(business_id__exact=obj['business_id']) & Q(date=obj['max_date']))

qs = Model.objects.filter(params)

This link can help u.

If the values() clause precedes the annotate() clause, any annotations will be automatically added to the result set. However, if the values() clause is applied after the annotate() clause, you need to explicitly include the aggregate column.
