Return Value based on MAX Date Created

Hi, need some help with MAX function. I am looking for a way to return the Invoice based on MAX date created e.g., Latest Date column.

Thank you

Not clear what you are trying to achieve.  Are you looking for the max date for each invoice number?

Is it possible to put this in a separate column but also keep the Date Created Column as in my example above? 

Sure, but why?

I am trying to highlight which one is MAX and MIN i.e., Old Invoice or New Invoice.
