HI, @v-easonf-msft  

Thank you for your help. Your reply is of great help to me in solving this problem. I have solved this problem by using TIMESTAMPADD(). The reason I can't use DATEADD() is that my data source is ODBC instead of SQL SERVER.

Hi , @t-zhanqi 

What kind of your database ?

PowerBi has a variety of database connectors, if possible, it is recommended to use them directly rather than ODBC connectors.

I try to  test your sql satement under the environment  of sql server, there is nothing wrong can be find.

Can you run the statement normally in your database?

@t-zhanqi , refer these for sql server date add

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_sqlserver_dateadd.asp

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/dateadd-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15

 

I doubt it has anything to do with power BI. Incase this SQL is working on SSMS and not working here, then it needs to be checked.
