Select 'best' row?

ngilbertMay 9 2008 — edited May 12 2008
This might be a pretty simple question but....

If I have a table like this:

Name Col1
A Bad
A Good
A Best
B Good
C Bad
D Bad
D Best

Can someone help me figure out a way to select out the one best row for each name such that I get

Name Col1
A Best
B Good
C Bad
D Best

The idea being that I need one row per name - if a Col1 = 'Best' row isn't found I use Col1 = 'Good' and if that isn't found I use Col1 = 'Bad'

Thanks for any help
