I'm trying to pull the most recent number into a cell using max/collect. What is wrong here?

Hello!
I want to pull the most recent number in Total Pending column into a cell. I've tried this in a variety of ways but it tells me invalid or circular:
=MAX(COLLECT([Week Start Date]:[Week Start Date], [Total Pending]:[Total Pending], [Total Pending]@row))

Thoughts?

Hi @JenWhiteCO ,

You won't be able to reference an entire column of cells for the formula if the destination cell of that formula is contained within the range. That's why you are getting a circular reference error.

Perhaps a Sheet Summary value would work for your needs?
