I want to add a custom column that looks at the completed date i.e. 22/06/2019 looks at years to next course column i.e. 3 then puts a new date in the custom column of 3 years since the completed date (or however many years are in the years until next course column) is this possible?  Mant thanks

@Michalison 

you can try to create a column in PQ (pls make sure the date is in date type)

=Date.AddYears([Completed],[Years until next course])

or use DAX to create a column

Column = EDATE('Table'[Completed],'Table'[Years until next course]*12)

hi @Michalison 
Try calculated column 

date new = DATE(YEAR(Sheet1[Date ])+Sheet1[Year Plus],MONTH(Sheet1[Date ]),DAY(Sheet1[Date ]))

still getting an error

Hi @Michalison 
I got your problem

 

You complted column is not in Date data type. It is in text format.

Please convert your complted column into date column format so that my dax formula will work for you.

Process> select your complted column > change data type > Date
