Well.. the =max() function will work to get the DATE, but using the match() function with the multi-row produces an error. So, I think we need to add a column (that could be hidden) to check multiple rows.
But, if the highlighting of PREVIOUS cells is an absolute requirement, then we might as well do the whole thing in a macro.
