Smileforest: If I am correct you just need to pick then the value from the previous node which is giving you the max time value.

Hi smileforest,

Your xpath is correct to find the maximum value from time field. Can you tell me the ‘time#%92 field data type? Math.Max will return the largest value of all the numerical elements in a node set. If your ‘time#%92 data type is integer or double it works correctly.
