Yesterday date

So I am trying to generate a calendar from yesterdar so I tried #date(Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()), (Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow())), [dias]) where dias is a column where I am getting from the day but I need to state the month and year based on yesterdar rather than today since on th 1st of every month I need to display the information of the 30th/ 31st of the last month. "DateTime.Localnow()  -1 " doent work

DateTime.LocalNow() - #duration(1,0,0,0)

if you prefer a form of subtraction.


Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
