Hello,

Just a quick note...I wa able to accomplish what I was looking for by using transformatio and the group by function (Region, Store_city, Transaciton_type ) with resulting Max/Min dates.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions

Looks like this should be done in Power Query. Take a look at PQ: https://youtu.be/ioVM77JDIXE
