Select a column value based on filter
Hi all, I have data as follows: Date MonthnYear 1/7/2020 July 2020 2/7/2020 July 2020 3/7/2020 July 2020 4/7/2020 July 2020 ...

As Anonymous has already mentioned, you can fix this by formatting your date measure. Just to explain why using max all to your Monthnyear column doesn't work is because this sorting them alphabetically rather than chronologically. Monthnyear is just a text data type, so will be sorted alphabetically.
Two ways to format:
1) if you want something specific in a card visual as requested, use the DAX FORMAT() function:
Max Month Year = FORMAT([Max Date All], "MMM YYYY")
NOTE: this method will convert your measure to a text data type. Shouldn't be a problem for measures, but for custom columns this means it will sort alphabetically as explained above.
2) Format the measure in the Model view using custom formatting https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-custom-format-strings
NOTE: This method just applies formatting on top of the existing measure without coverting the data type.
