How to get a string based on the latest date using DAX

Hi everyone

I'm trying to retireve a string of text (in this case it's called destination) based on the latest transactiondate.

I'm using the following DAX measure but it's not working for me:

Latest_Destination =
MAXX (
    FILTER (
        transaction,
        transaction[transactiondate]
    ),
    transaction[destination]
)

What I'm currently getting appears to be the desination of the earliest transactiodate not the latest, but I can't work out why!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
Jon
