Applies to: Calculated column Calculated table Measure Visual calculation
Note
This function is discouraged for use in visual calculations as it likely returns meaningless results.
Returns a table that contains a column of dates, shifted either forward or backward in time by the specified number of intervals from the dates in the current context.
DATEADD(<dates>,<number_of_intervals>,<interval>)
Term | Definition |
---|---|
dates |
A column that contains dates. |
number_of_intervals |
An integer that specifies the number of intervals to add to or subtract from the dates. |
interval |
The interval by which to shift the dates. The value for interval can be one of the following: year , quarter , month , day |
A table containing a single column of date values.
The dates
argument can be any of the following:
A reference to a date/time column,
A table expression that returns a single column of date/time values,
A Boolean expression that defines a single-column table of date/time values.
Note
Constraints on Boolean expressions are described in the topic, CALCULATE function.
If the number specified for number_of_intervals
is positive, the dates in dates
are moved forward in time; if the number is negative, the dates in dates
are shifted back in time.
The interval
parameter is an enumeration, not a set of strings; therefore values should not be enclosed in quotation marks. Also, the values: year
, quarter
, month
, day
should be spelled in full when using them.
The result table includes only dates that exist in the dates
column.
If the dates in the current context do not form a contiguous interval, the function returns an error.
This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules.
The following formula calculates dates that are one year before the dates in the current context.
= DATEADD(DateTime[DateKey],-1,year)
