Find Max Date Prior to Today

I have order data with dates both in the past and in the future. It is connected to a date calendar table. I would like to find the most recent date prior to today.

 

For example, if today was April 15, 2022 and I had order dates in my table of:

April 1, 2022

April 5, 2022

April 11, 2022

April 19, 2022

April 30, 2022

I would want it to return 'April 11, 2022'. I will then use this date to show last 30 days totals, etc.

 

I've tried:

Max Date =
CALCULATE( MAX('Order Data'[Order Date]), FILTER(ALL(Dates), Dates[Date] <= TODAY()))

but that still gives me the latest date in the future. How can I get the date prior to today?
