Hi, kimbtoth ;
You could try it.
Then expand it and delete it.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bYxBDgAhCAP/wlkSQJT4FuP/v+GJpdl4a6bT7k1q3amRiSkHK52GzNh5IMs8YfMJAUKksOp0Ve+SvUo9uIHR0Ug4nrP5o+cC", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Account Number" = _t, #"Date ACE Completed" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Account Number", Int64.Type}, {"Date ACE Completed", type date}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Account Number"}, {{"maxdate", each List.Max([Date ACE Completed]), type nullable date}, {"a", each _, type table [Account Number=nullable number, Date ACE Completed=nullable date]}}), #"Expanded a" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "a", {"Date ACE Completed"}, {"a.Date ACE Completed"}), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded a",{"a.Date ACE Completed"}) in #"Removed Columns"

Hi mussaenda ,
Thanks for getting back to me! I will google to figure that out since I don't know how to extract the max date. If I group, don't I lose all the other columns except that column that I am grouped on?
