Get the latest data

Hi All, I'm struggling to get my latest data from outlook email attachement. It worked well until now but since a few days it's only displaying 2020' data. I have this issue for two different files.

 

I've tried to add a "Sort Descending" step to the Power Query Editor but the result is the same, It gives me the oldest version of the file.

 

Could you help me with this ?

 

Best Regards,

Louis

Are you using a Flow to grab/store email attachments?  In any case, you probably need to wrap your Table.Sort step in Table.Buffer, but it is more straight forward to use the Table.Max() function to keep just the latest file.
