Hi @Anonymous ,

Dateadd returns a table that contains a column of dates, shifted either forward or backward in time by the specified number of intervals from the dates in the current context.

Do you want to return one column of data or one table？

I have create a sample data.Please have a try.

Create a measure.

Measure = EDATE(SELECTEDVALUE(Aging_label[today]),-1)

Best Regards

Hi @Anonymous 

In your formula  you are using  a date column from the fact table which might contain gaps in date. Time Intelligence functions like DATEADD work more efficiently with a Calendar Date Table. 

You need to add a Calendar date table to your model and link it to the fact table on date column, then use Calendar date column into your DAX formula.

JAN is current month and next should be ... one month before current month and next 2 month before current month.. was working fine in 2021 but after change in year creating problem

Is this date column? I mean that functions like DATEADD works only with date formatted field

[Anonymous]

yes this is date column

There is something that is not clear, to our side, share the full calculation measure, maybe the date column is not complete or data model. There can be a lot of reasons why not working
