    I believe you want Date.AddDays([Last INV Date], -10)

     

    Here is an example query I created:

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUTLUN9Q3MjAyUIrViVYyAAoYIQsYAQWM4QKxAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Item = _t, #"Last INV Date" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Item", type text}, {"Last INV Date", type date}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if [Item] = "0" then Date.AddDays([Last INV Date],-10) else [Last INV Date])
    in
    #"Added Custom"

    Hi bhelou 

     

    Try this.

     

    if [Day 2]="0" then Date.AddDays(  [Last INV Date], -10 ) else [Last INV Date]

     

    Best Regards,

    Hello bhelou 

     

    the value is a number, non a text. so use this formula

    if [Day 2]=0 then Date.AddDays( [Last INV Date], -10 ) else [Last INV Date]
