Hi @adieball,

Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:

Add a customer column in query editor:

=List.Max({[Column2], [Date1], [Column1]})

Apply it and create a measure:

myMax = MAX('Table1'[Latest])

Now you could see the correct result.

Make a measure to find the latest in each of the columns individually. Then make a measure that pulls the individual measure results in as variables, having a result of the latest of the three variables.
