    Hi kumarleau,

     

    It seems to be that you may mix DAX and Power Query(M). DATEADD function is a DAX function, so it cannot be used in Query Editor. You should use it under Modeling tab like below. :smileyhappy:

    Apparently you didn't understand the reply.

     

    DATEADD is a DAX function. You can't use DAX functions in the query editor.

     

    Instead, try Power Query (M) function Date.AddYears

     

    Power Query (M) and DAX are 2 completely different languages within Power BI.

      Hi,

       

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      let
          Source = Sql.Database("ebi-etl-dev-01", "dbname"),
          dbo_Report_Booking_Live = Source{[Schema="dbo",Item="Report_Booking_Live"]}[Data],
          OpportunityCreatedDate1 = dbo_Report_Booking_Live[OpportunityCreatedDate]
          OpportunityCreatedDate2=DateAdd(opportunityCreatedDate,-1,year)
      in
          OpportunityCreatedDate1
