Hi,
I am trying to do add a calculate column through advance editor by adding dateadd function to the date column.
It is giving me error that dateadd function was not recognized.
Please help me on this issue.

Kumar

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. ![]()

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
