sql server - SQL Database Select, Sort, and Eliminate Duplicates without DISTINCT -

-

in sample sql database, i've got invoice totals , vendor names on 2 separate tables.

as general orientation, here current code i've created:

select top 5 invoicetotal, vendorname invoices join vendors on invoices.vendorid = vendors.vendorid order invoicetotal desc;

i'm looking top 5 invoice totals displayed without repeating of vendor names. example, current output is:

137966.19   malloy lithographing inc 26881.40    malloy lithographing inc 23517.58    malloy lithographing inc 21842.00    data reproductions corp 20551.18    malloy lithographing inc

however, target output like:

137966.19   malloy lithographing inc 21842.00    data reproductions corp 20076.01    smith & co 14590.00    tim's management ltd 13878.50    helloworld corp

is can make happen in management studio? i've tried implementing distinct, doesn't seem work.

any extremely appreciated.

would following work?

select top 5 max(invoicetotal) total, vendorname invoices join vendors on invoices.vendorid = vendors.vendorid group vendorname order 1 desc
