Getting the most recent entry in alphanumeric field

I have a dataset that has alphanumeric fields and dates attached to them. How do I get the most recent alphanumeric entry?

Example:

H0034 1/1/2024
H0035 1/1/2024
H0036 2/26/2024

 

How do I only pull the 2/26/2024?

I should add, the dates will not always be in order. Example

H0001 6/6/2023
H0002 1/1/2023

 

For this table, I would want to return just the 1/1/2023.

The field name for the H00xx field is [item_mod]. 

I have tried this: =if(left([item_mod],1)='H', num(replace([item_mod],'H','')), 0) to get the values in numerical order and then using MAX, but that gave me incorrect results.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to load RecNo in the data load.
