Add a number of days to a date in a new column

Hi all,

 

How I can calculate in a new column an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) addinga number of days from other column with a date. I saw that one solution is to create a new table with the number of days to add, but I'm not understanding how to create the relationship.

 

I appreciate your support!

DATEADD() function requires the result date exists in the same column. I suggest you directly add days on date. It can be done via either DAX or Power Query approach.

Thank you.  How can I make this formula where if 'Date' is blank "leave blank"
