Hello all, I have a table with multiple entries for employees. I've grouped this table by employee number and I've aggregated the data by Max for day, and Max for other columns. However, I am trying to get the last entry for "company" (we have 3 companies). When I use "Max" or List.Last in the M Code, I get the last company alphabetically not chronalogically. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Power Query:
= Table.Group(#"Removed Other Columns", {"EmployeeNumber"}, {{"MaxDay", each List.Max([ActualDate]), type nullable datetime}, {"MaxName", each List.Max([FullName]), type nullable text}, {"MaxActiveStat", each List.Max([ActiveStatus]), type nullable text}, {"MaxHireDate", each List.Max([HireDate]), type nullable datetime}, {"MaxRehireDate", each List.Max([RehireDate]), type nullable datetime}, {"MaxTermDate", each List.Max([TerminationDate]), type nullable datetime}, {"MaxCompany", each List.Last([Company]), type nullable text}, {"MaxManager", each List.Max([Manager]), type nullable text}, {"MaxDepartment", each List.Max([DeptCode]), type nullable text}, {"MaxLocation", each List.Max([WorkLocation]), type nullable text}, {"MaxDeptName", each List.Max([DepartmentName]), type nullable text}})

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
It would be helpful if you showed us some sample data (8-12 records) of what you have and then some mocked up exhibits of what you expect for results. Please use XL2BB. No pictures please.
