Power query help

[Anonymous]

Am looking to create a column in power query editor that will take the monch a order was invoiced then based in the number of months that it needs to be invoiced for will give me the dates. For example;

 for an order invoiced on 23/04/2019 and the number of months being 3 the new column should give me 3 months worth of dates for example 23/05/2019 23/06/2019 23/07/2019. Below is a screenshot of the data i am trying to create this with. Any help will be gratefully appreciated

Create a new column with your month column as count and month as duration. Then expand into new rows.

@tex628 thank you so much for the response so would it look like this

List.Dates([DateInvoiced],[Months], [Months] )

thank you

Nevermind that, apparently its not that simple.
It appear that list.dates cant use month as increment which leaves us with a more complicated solution. 

Use List.Numbers to create a record for each month. So you would do something along the lines of:

List.Numbers( 0 , [Month] )

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/list-numbers

When the list is expanded you should end up with 1 record representing each month. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. 

Now you want to create a new column using:

Date.AddMonths( [DateInvoiced] , [New column that you just made] )

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/date-addmonths

This should give you the desired result! Sorry for the missdirect in the beginning, hope it works out.

Br,
