It is giving me error that dateadd function was not recognized.

Please help me on this issue.

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.

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

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.
