Subtract a column in table2 numofmonths from a date field in table1

Hi,

 

I have Table1 with [authdate] I'm trying to subtract table2[NumofMonths] from this date to get a new date. From the solutions I've found the subtraction of the months is always a static number. How would I subtract the column  NumofMonths to get the new authdate?

 

Thanks

@mloc1990 ,

 

You can modify calculate column as below:

Result =
DATEDIFF ( Table[NumofMonths], Table[CurrentNum], MONTH )

@mloc1990 ,

 

You can create a calculate column using DAX below:

 

authdate = Table[CurrentNum] - Table[NumofMonths]

I've tried this but it only takes a number of days from the original date instead of months.
