DAX Formula Help

I am trying to figure out how to subtract a number from a date. For further context, I have a "Lead-Time" column and I have a "Expiration Date" column. Lead-Time is a whole number and expiration date is a date. I need to subtract the number of days that is my lead time from the expiration date. So if the lead time is ten days and the expiration date is 9/18/22, I need the new column to populate with the date 9/8/22. Is there a way to do this using DAX?

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes @kmlcoch , you can change the interval dynamically. Try this:
Result = DATEADD([Expiration Date].[date], lead-time, DAY)

Hi @kmlcoch ,
Try using DATEADD() 
Eg- Result = DATEADD([Expiration Date].[date], -10, DAY)

Is there a way to put the column in the second array instead of the number? otherwise it would all be manual
