Subtract or Add #s to a date field in M Query
I would like to be able to subtract or add a # of days from a date field in the query editor. In one column I have number of days (5,300, 60) and in another column i have dates 01/01/2018. Is there a custom column function that will subtract or add?
Example...... 01/01/2018 + [Date Field] (5) = 01/06/2018
Thanks!
Anonymous,
Change the data type if necessary.
Date.AddDays(Date.From([Start Date]), Number.From([Promote_or_Defer__c]))

Yes: Date.AddDays.

let Source = #table(type table[Start Date = date,Promote_or_Defer__c = Int64.Type], {{#date(2017,12,18),-10},{#date(2017,12,18),10}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Resulting Data", each Date.AddDays([Start Date],[Promote_or_Defer__c]), type date) in #"Added Custom"
