    It might be a field access error.

    Try

    let freq = [FREQUENCY] in each Date.AddMonths( _ , freq))

Hi ben-t 

Its an invironment/ item access issue, here's a work around. Just assign the field value to a variable and bring that into your calculation.

 

let n = [FREQUENCY] in List.Generate(() => [Next job],
each Date.From(_) <= Date.From(Date.AddYears(Date.EndOfYear(DateTime.LocalNow()), 1)),
each Date.AddMonths(_, n ))

 

Ps. If this helps solve your query please mark this post as Solution, thanks!
