How to move (Now)

So quite simply I want to be able to slice/move "Now" to 3, 6, 9 months into the future. I have a bunch of products that have fixed expiration dates and I am trying to show how bad the situation will be in 3 months time etc.

 

All time functions seem to be based on if x then y.  My data is static, the variable I would like to play with is (Now)

(do you slice (today)? not (Now)??)

 

 

  • Perhaps something like:

     

    Measure = 
    VAR __now = NOW()
    RETURN 
    DATE(YEAR(__now),MONTH(__now)+3,DAY(__now))

      Huge thanks gives us our starting point needed.  Evidentally we need to learn more about DAX formula!
