Thanks, this methiod worked.
I had to change "Changed Type" into my own column name and that did the trick!
Good to hear, please mark the solution as accepted
Hello,
I know this one is a bit old, but can you explain to me why adding the previous step to the code makes it work?
Thanks!
Late response, but for anyone else going through this answer, the reason it works is because you need to find the List.Max() of a list. If you just use the column name alone, it will use the value in that column within the same row - a single value - and throw an error since it's not a list. If you instead refer to it by "<previous step>"[column_name] (or <table_name>[column_name] depending on your query) you are looking for the List.Max() of that full array and it will return a value.
