Increase month

Question

How can we increase the number of months incrementally just like we do in addDay function in Data Factory

Answer 1

Hi @Hassan Waseem ,

Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A !!

Unfortunately, AddMonths function similar like AddDay is currently not available in Azure Data Factory. You can have AddMonths functions available in DataFlow in Azure Data Factory. You can upvote an existing feedback over here so that other community members can also upvote and products team can plan to include this in future releases.

Also, please refer to this thread which talks about extracting the current month using substring and doing calculations on the month part. You could use a similar approach based on your date value in your case.

Thanks

Hi Team,

Use below Date Function in azure Data Factory, you can modify from below example and use as per your requirement

Date Function: subtractFromTime

Use: Subtract a number of time units from a timestamp. See also getPastTime.

example : I want endOfMonth for my scenario then I am using below case

@adddays(startOfMonth(subtractFromTime(formatDateTime('2024-02-15'), -1, 'Month)), -1)

Answer: 2024-02-29
