Adjust date in date column via a parameter

[Tom12]

Hi

I am trying to plot transactions values by dates where I have adjusted the value and date via parameters.

I have created a measure for the adjusted value:

AdjustedAmount = SUM('Transactions'[Amount]) * (1+[Value Adjustment 2 Value]/100)

however I am struggling to adjust the date in the same way:

AdjustedDate = DATEADD(Transactions[Date], 'Value Adjustment 2'[Value Adjustment 2 Value],DAY)

I want the date adjustment to be dynamic so am keen to use a paramenter, but I cant work out how.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Tom

Hi @Tom12 

As tested, if i use the formula "AdjustedDate" in the measure, then add this measure in the visual, it would throw an error.

This is because "DATEADD" function returns a table instead of a list of values.

If you want to adjust date dynamically for a calcuation, for example:

Measure 1 = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Date]),DATEADD('Table'[Date],[Parameter Value],DAY))

It is possible.

But if you want to adjust dates list directly, you could create a simple measure. 

In Power BI, It will increase dates intelligently.

Measure 2 = MAX('Table'[Date])+[Parameter Value]
