    Hi Anonymous ,

    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].[Date])+'rm_loc_component_cycles'[cycle_length],MONTH('rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date].[Date]),DAY('rm_loc_component_cycles'[next_date].[Date])))

    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
