My sheet has a system column that shows the Modified Date of each row. Is there a way for me to pull the most recent date out to the sheet summary? I tried =MAX(Modified:Modified) but it says that it is an invalid column value.
Because its a system generated column you may need to break out the date into a user column first. You can use the DATEONLY function to separate out the date, then reference the max from that column. You'll want both columns to be date formatted columns.

Also make sure that your Sheet Summary filed is set to be a date type field.
Apparently my browser was taking a while to refresh. I see that Mike already got it.
