Solved! Go to Solution.
let
Source = SharePoint.Files("https://xyz.com/teams/Analytics", [ApiVersion = 15]),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each Text.Contains([Folder Path], "test")),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows",{{"Date created", type number}}),
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([Date created] = List.Max(#"Changed Type"[Date created])))
in
#"Filtered Rows1"@ashikts you can filter the latest file based on Date created
