Calculating date and count columns?

[Googlecanthelp]

Hi all! 

Simple task that I cannot get right! 

Two columns, one denotes the date of a next product renewal (start_date) 

The other is a whole number representing the lifecycle of each product (cycle_length) 

I want to create a new column which calculates a future date of the next renewall based on the start date plus the cycle length. 

Each product has a different cycle length so needs to read the cycle lenght column for each row. 

Example start date is 01/07/2023, cycle legnth is 20 years, next renewal colunn should read 1/07/2043 (simplied for example) 

Any help much appreciated 🙂

Hii @Googlecanthelp , You can also use the DATEADD function
It will return the dates according to the interval you choose. In your case the formula would be :-
Formula = DATEADD(Start_date, cycle_Length, Year)
You can also refer this link for more information.

Next renewal = SUMX(rm_loc_component_cycles,DATE(YEAR('rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date].[Date])+'rm_loc_component_cycles'[cycle_length],MONTH('rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date].[Date]),DAY('rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date].[Date])))

Hi @Googlecanthelp ,

It seems that there is null value in the field 'rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date], and in order to avoid February having different days in different years get error, for example next_date is 2024/2/29, cycle length is 3. Then the next renewal will be date(2027,2,29) base on your formula. It will also be wrong....

So please update the formula of calculated column [Next renewal] as below and check if it can return the expected result... Please find the details in the attachment.

Next renewal = 
VAR _year =
    YEAR ( 'rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date] ) + 'rm_loc_component_cycles'[cycle_length]
VAR _month =
    MONTH ( 'rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date] )
VAR _day =
    DAY ( 'rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date] )
VAR _eomonth =
    EOMONTH ( DATE ( _year, _month, 1 ), 0 )
RETURN
     IF (
         ISBLANK ( 'rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date] ),
         BLANK (),
        IF ( _day > DAY ( _eomonth ), _eomonth, DATE ( _year, _month, _day ) )
     )

Best Regards

Next renewal = SUMX(rm_loc_component_cycles,DATE(YEAR('rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date])+'rm_loc_component_cycles'[cycle_length],MONTH('rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date]),DAY('rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date])))

You don't need .[Date]. Check if this is the problem

Hi @Googlecanthelp 

I assume that all cycles' length are the same unit, so you can do:

Next renewal = SUMX('Table',DATE(YEAR('Table'[Date])+'Table'[Cycle length],MONTH('Table'[Date]),DAY('Table'[Date])))

Hi, thanks! The cycles units are years, so I want it to show me the next date plus the cycle years

Then, use the formula I had written before. It should work
