Calculate a future date from a date column

Hi Experts

I am trying to calculate a future date (3 months) from the last appointment date for our users.  This will allow us to cancel membership 3 months from the last appointment.  My summary table data looks like this

I now need a column which provides the date 3 months from the last attended appointment.  I have tried the dateadd function but get an error.

 

thank  you in advance

Hi @Elisa112 ,

 

@amitchandak nice method! Thank you, for your quick response and the solution provided.
And based on the sample and description you provided, you can also try code as below to create a Calculated column.

FutureDate = 
EDATE ( 'Table'[Last appointment date], 3 )

Result is as below.

@Elisa112 , Create a new column

 

New Date = date(year([Date]), month([Date])+3, day([Date]) )
