How to find latest year from 'YY/YY' format

Hi Everyone.
I have a field "financial year" which is in the following format: 21/22, 22/23 ('YY/YY').
I want to create a variable which identifies which one is the latest year (max) so that every year I don't have to update it manually. Does anybody have a clue if this can be done in this format or shall I covert the date format from the source data?
Thank you

Year field is literally:

'21/22'

'22/23'

MaxString([Financial Year]) should work here. If your max year in the example above is '23', use Right(MaxString([Financial Year]),2).

I don't think there is much to share to be honest.

Year field is literally:

'21/22'

'22/23'

I would like to identify the latest with the set analysis.
