Formula for a Date Field Minus Number Field to give a new Dates

I have a Target Start Date (Date field) and a number in days for Preparation of a project (Num Field). I am trying to create a column that gives me a Start of Preparation Date. I can do this easily in excel but it is not working in PowerBi all i am getting is an error and other formula like DateAdd wants a fixed days and wont let me add a Number Field.

 

[Target Date]-[Preparation Days] = New column Start of Preparation Date

 

Thanks in advance 🙂
