Hi,
I have a measure, which is a DateTime. I'm trying to subtract Years/Months/Days from this measure. But can't seem to find an easy way to do this.
Basically, I'm looking for a DateAdd function, but that accepts a single date instead of a column of date.
Example:
Measure: [FirstDate] = MIN(Table[Date])
FirstDate20DaysAdded = DateAdd([Firstdate],20,Days)
Hi! Could you resolve it? I want to do the same (Dateadd for a measure and not to a column)
I recommend that you put the exercise you want to find to be able to understand the dateadd what it does is 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.
Alright. What I eventually want to do is get the difference between that measure, and the current day. But in a text format, for example:
* 2 year(s), 3 month(s), 22 day(s).
* 3 month(s), 22 day(s).
* 22 day(s)
I've broken this up into several measures:
[FirstDate] = MIN(Table[Date])
[YearValue] = DATEDIFF([FirstDate],TODAY(),YEAR)
[YearValueText] = IF([YearValue] >= 1, CONCAT([YearValue]," year(s)"), "")
[MonthValue] = DATEDIFF(DATEADD([FirstDate],[YearValue],YEAR),TODAY(),MONTH)
This is where I need that DATEADD for a measure.
