This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a table View that shows a list of posts. I'd like to include a date in the table header that indicates the most recent post date.
Solution: Create a View that shows the same results, but use post date descending order and set the limit to 1 result. In the Loop output, insert a post date shortcode. Place this View inside the table header of the existing View. Check "disable wrapping div around this view" to display the text inline.

Using Toolset and Views, I have created a list of Exhibitors. What I need is for the date at the top of the list to update automatically whenever a new exhibitor is added, so that those visiting the page will know how current the list is.
Thank you for your assistance,

Hi, Christian...
Thank you for the step by step instructions. I was able to create the date view and put it in my original view code and it works.
However, I have a display problem with the date I need your help with. The date view code makes the "date" go on a separate line. I need the date to be inline with the rest of the text (see screenshot for reference).
Your assistance is greatly appreciated...
