Need help converting date functions from SQL Server to DAX
Hello, I am trying to convert the following date function from t-sql to dax:
select
EOMONTH(DATEADD (dd, -1, DATEADD(qq, DATEDIFF(qq, 0, myDateCol) +1, 0)), 1)
;
So far I have DATEDIFF as
DATEDIFF( 0, myDateCol, QUARTER)
however I can't figure out how to do DATEADD. For that I have this:
DATEADD(0, DATEDIFF( 0, myDateCol, QUARTER)+1, quarter) I got this function from https://dax.guide/dateadd/
I know EOMONTH exists in DAX as show here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/endofmonth-function-dax
I was hoping someone can provide my a hint or help me. Thank you.
transcend , Assuming you can add three month in place of quarter
Datediff will give number, so not sure how you are using that
Datediff([Date1], [Date2], Day) //in place of date you can use month, quarter, year etc
In place of dateadd, you have to use date
say 3 month in place of quarter
date(Year([MyDate]),Month([MyDate])-1, Day([MyDate]))
Subtract or add days simply
[MyDate] + [Days]
[MyDate]+5
For end of the month
eomonth([MyDate], 0) //current month end date
