I am importing a series of CSV file and they all have a date in the file name. Ex:
2017-09-26.CSV
2017-10-23.CSV
etc.
I am able to combine them and create a date column based on the filename. Now I would like to add a column called [IsLatest, determine which is the most recent date, and have Yes or No in the column accordingly. I can do this in DAX with a custom column, but I wanted to stretch my M skills but I just can't figure it out. Any Power Query / M gurus who can point me in the right direction?

Hi @hymieho,
You can try a custom column like this:
List.Max(#"Changed Type"[Column1])

Works like a charm--thanks for the tip!
1. Add a (temporary) custom column as you mentioned with the List.Max(date)
2. Add a 2nd custom column that checks to see if [Date] = [Latest Date in group]
3. Remove the temp column
#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "IsLatest", each if [Add Column with latest date] = [Date] then "Yes" else "No"),
#"Renamed Columns2" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Added Conditional Column",{{"Add Column with latest date", "Latest Date in group"}}),
#"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Renamed Columns2",{"Latest Date in group"})
