Create a custom column with a date based on another columns date

How do I write a formula that creates a new column that takes a range of dates and delivers a new date?

 

The dates on the left are the ones that I have. I want to create a custom column with the starting date of the next quarter, based on the "Initial date" column. So whichever quarter the "Initial date" falls within the custom column will provide the first day of the next quarter. Q1 = Jan-Mar, etc.

 

The custom column needs to be visible in Power Query.

or

 

Date.StartOfQuarter(Date.AddQuarters([Column],1))

Ran in to a problem. I wasn't aware of at the time of writing my initial question. But I need the custom column created to be visible in Power Query. Unfortunately this calculated DAX column is not visible.

@Anders_G , Try in power query like

 


Date.AddQuarters([Column],1)

 

or

 

Date.StartOfQuarter(Date.AddQuarters([Column],1))
