DAX error message

I am trying to create a date table so I can use quarters.  I get the following DAX error, does anyone know how to fix this?

The syntax for 'Date' is incorrect. Date = (DAX(ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR("07-01-2011","06-30-2019'),"Date As Integer", FORMAT([Date],"YYYYMMDD"),"Month Number",FORMAT([Date],"mm"),"Year Month Short",FORMAT([Date],"mmm-YYYY"),"Year",FORMAT([Date],"YYYY"),"Month Name Long",FORMAT([Date],"mmmm"),"FY Month Year",FORMAT([Date],"mmm-yyyy"),"Day of Week",FORMAT([Date],"dddd"),"Day of Month",FORMAT([Date],"d"),"Day of Week Short",FORMAT([Date],"ddd"),"Quater","Q"& FORMAT([Date],"Q"),"Year Quarter",FORMAT([Date],"YYYY"&"/"& FORMAT([Date],"Q")))))
