DATEADD Function
Add a specified number of units to a valid date. Units can be any supported Datetime unit (e.g. minute, month, year, etc.). Input must be a column reference containing dates.
注記
If this function computes values out of the supported range of dates, the values are written as mismatched values, and the column is likely to be typed as a Datetime column.
Wrangle vs. SQL: This function is part of Wrangle, a proprietary data transformation language. Wrangle is not SQL. For more information, see Wrangle Language.
Basic Usage
dateadd(myDate, 3, month)
Output: Returns the values in the myDate column with three months added to them.
注記
Output dates are always formatted with dashes. For example, if the input values include 12/31/2016, a dateadd function output might be 03-31-2017.
