Hi topazz11
If you have a finite number of date columns, you could try adding a custom column something like this.
if [date1] > [date2] then if [date1] > [date3] then [date1] else [date3] else if [date2] > [date3] then [date2] else [date3]If you aren't sure how many dates in a record, that makes things tougher.
Let me know if this helps.

Hi,
This M code works
let Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content], #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"id", Int64.Type}, {"date1", type datetime}, {"date2", type datetime}, {"date3", type datetime}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Max(List.Skip(Record.ToList(_),1))) in #"Added Custom"Hope this helps.
