Basic Examples  (4)

Find the last date in a list of date objects:

Wolfram Language code: MaxDate[{DateObject[{2022, 4, 8}, "Day"], DateObject[{2022, 4, 9}, "Day"], DateObject[{2022, 4, 7}, "Day"]}]

Find the last date in a list of dates in different forms:

Wolfram Language code: MaxDate[{DateObject[{2020}], "1950 Jan 4th", 3867285330, {2022, 1, 1}}]

Get the instant representing the endpoint of a date interval:

Wolfram Language code: MaxDate[DateInterval[Yesterday]]

Find the final day within the interval representing September:

Wolfram Language code: MaxDate[DateInterval[DateObject[{2025, 9}, "Month"]], "Day"]

Scope  (2)

Find the final timestamp of a TimeSeries object:

Wolfram Language code: ts = EarthquakeData[All, 8, {{2017, 1, 1}, {2020, 5, 16}}, "Magnitude"]
Wolfram Language code: MaxDate[ts]

Find the final timestamp in a Databin object:

Wolfram Language code: bin = Databin["1qGFQ8v"]
Wolfram Language code: DateBounds[bin]

Properties & Relations  (2)

MaxDate[data] is equivalent to the last element of DateBounds[data]:

Wolfram Language code: dates = {DateObject[{2022, 4, 8}, "Day"], DateObject[{2022, 4, 9}, "Day"], DateObject[{2022, 4, 7}, "Day"]};
Wolfram Language code: MaxDate[dates]
Wolfram Language code: DateBounds[dates]

MinDate[data] returns the earliest date in data and MaxDate[data] returns the latest date:

Wolfram Language code: dates = {DateObject[{2022, 4, 8}, "Day"], DateObject[{2022, 4, 9}, "Day"], DateObject[{2022, 4, 7}, "Day"]};
Wolfram Language code: MinDate[dates]
Wolfram Language code: MaxDate[dates]
