I am using Power Query (actually for Excel for this instance, but also for Power BI).
I have
I want to create a calculated column, a second date field, by adding the integer (in months) to the original date column.
Please note: I am in Australia, the dates are formatted dd/mm/yyyy
The formula I have tried is
Date.Addmonths([Forecast Month],[Add Month])
However Power Query is throwing this error code:
Expression.Error: The name 'Date.Addmonths' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly.
I sourced this formula directly from the "learn about Power Query formulas" link that is inside Power Query formula window... What am I doing wrong?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Nevermind....
I tried Date.AddDays, worked. Tried Date.AddYears, worked... Date.AddQuarters... worked.
Turns out the formula is CASE SENSITIVE. It needs to be Date.AddMonths not Date.Addmonths
