DAX Formula to add 30 days to a time/date column

I wanted to create another column which adds 30 days to each date listed in another column. I tried using the formula: ColumnName2 = DATEADD(Table[ColumnName1],+30,DAY) but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi

 

Dateadd generates proper date result only when the source column date is continoues and the expected date sould be there in the source column. In your case the Table[Columnname1] may not meet the above condition. Either you can cretae a calendar table and use that date column , if you want to use dateadd. Else, as suggested above use New column = Tavble[ColName1]+30.

 

Thanks

_donev  - the above solution "ColumnName2" works if in a BI table - but if in query mode - the solution works as  example:    ColumnName = Date.AddDays([Invoice Date],30)   (My example would be like an invoice date + 30 days for due date)

I think you are going to need t columns, 1 with date by day (1/1/2018 etc...) and anotherone with Days by Month (31Days etc) ... then your formula would be something like Calculate(Sum(DaysInMonth)),DateADD(YourDateColumn)+30))

You can try this:

ColumnName2 = Table[ColumnName1] + 30
