Hi

I am using the following and it is working well. How can I get dynamically: "today-3 years" and "today + end of next year".
For example today is 2024-Oct-29. 

today-4 years is 2020-Oct-29

today + end of next year is 2025-Dec-31

Thanks

let
    Today = Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),
    TodayFormatted = Date.ToText(Today, "dd.MM.yyyy"),
    TomorrowFormatted = Date.ToText(Date.AddDays(Today, 1), "dd.MM.yyyy")
in
    TomorrowFormatted

You can add year to specific date by Date.AddYear and also calculate the last date of a year by Date. EndOfYear.

 

So your dates can be achieved by the below formual.

 

Today date => Date.from(DateRime.LocalNow())

Date of next three year=> Date.AddYear(Date.from(DateRime.LocalNow()),3)

 

End of next year => Date.EndOfYear(Date.AddYear(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),1))

THank you. I was asking three year backwards. Is it supposed to be:
Date of next three year=> Date.AddYear(Date.from(DateRime.LocalNow()),-3)
