AddMonths function

Hi,

I have a start date 02/15/2017. I need to add number of months to get the end date. Suppose no of months=12 will give me the end date 02/15/2018. The number of months will come from a field. I know the function AddMonths but it's only working when I am giving the number of months explicitly.

AddMonths(date(Subscription_Start_Date__c),12) is working.

But how do I write the function if the number of months is coming from another field?

AddMonths(date(Subscription_Start_Date__c),Subscription_Duration) doesn't work.

I am using the Date function to convert it.

I don't understand.... this should work

Date(AddMonths(Subscription_Start_Date__c, Subscription_Duration__c)) as test

Is Subscription_Duration__c a number field is the last thing I can ask you to check.... otherwise I have no idea... Unless you are able to share a sample, I have no idea why it isn't working

Date(AddMonths(Subscription_Start_Date__c, (Subscription_Duration__c * 1))) as test

You are trying to use a field (with the __C)  that's been renamed. Try using [Subscription Start Date] instead in your AddMonths statement.
