Using Dateadd

Hi, 

I can t use the DATEADD function correctly.

DATEADD(HISTORIQUE[DateFinPeriodeEssai1],-nbjprevenance,DAY)

-nbjprevenance = variable 

if I put 0 in place of the variable, I get the right dates. But as soon as I want to add or subtract, nothing goes, sometimes I have the right answer, sometimes nothing.

Thank you for your help

Hi,

After many tests, I tried this syntax:

HISTORIQUE[DateFinPeriodeEssai1] - nbjprevenance

and it works.

In case you plan to use a slicer, you can have a measure. Here "Add to date" is a slicer

 

Date from slicer = 
Var date1='Add To Date'[Add To Date Value]

return
CALCULATE(maxx(Sales,DATEADD(Sales[Order_Date],date1,DAY)))

 

 

You want to add static value once as column 

 

Date from slicer col = 
Var date1=1

return
DATEADD(Sales[Order_Date],-1*date1,DAY)

Hi, I understand your solution, but it doesn't work for all my data

@PatriceGRENcan you provide details on how you are calculating nbjprevenance variable? Also do you have date dimension in your model on which you are performing this DateADD function?

Hi,

HISTORIQUE[DateFinPeriodeEssai1] - nbjprevenance

and it works.

 

 

Hi, 

datePrevenancePeriodeEssai1 =

var nbj = HISTORIQUE[NombreJourDebutContrataDateJour]

var nbjprevenance =

switch(TRUE(); -- donne le nombre de jours de prévenance à respecter

nbj <8 ; 1;

and(nbj > 8 ; nbj <= 30);2;

and(nbj >30 ; nbj <= 90);15;30 )

return

DATEADD(HISTORIQUE[DateFinPeriodeEssai1];-nbjprevenance;DAY)

 

for the "Date Dimension", I'll look. This is a model that is available to me, I don't know yet everything in it.
