DATEADD ERROR SYNTAX

Hi,

I'm trying create a calculate column to get a date subtracting 1 month, but I get a syntax error on MONTH. I don't know the reason.

 

See the function

I found the cause of error. It's for regional language setting. I have Spanish-Colombia. I changed it for Spanish-Mexico and work very well

Thanks for your answer Herbert, but I tried create a table with the same expression and I got the same error

DATEADD will return a table containing a single column of date values. You cannot create a column with a table expression.

 

Best Regards,
