Get Max date from a group of items in a sharepoint list and store it in another calculated column

Hello! I have a SharePoint list that contains multiple Employee Names in one column and various due dates in another column and I need to get the MAX date for each unique Employee Name and add this to a new column in the same SharePoint list. I've added my data set below and also the desired output. I'm not able to figure out the formula for this! Any help greatly appreciated!

 

Current State:

Jack Ryan3/4/2023
Jane Doe12/17/2022
Jack Ryan1/28/2023
Shane Smith1/11/2023

 

End Result:

    Jairacha you can't do this with a formula in a calculated column because it can't look at other items. You'd need to build something in a flow in Power Automate.
