This function returns all dates from the next day to the first date in the input parameter. For example, if the first date in the dates argument refers to June 10, 2009; then this function returns all dates for the month of July, 2009.

The dates argument can be any of the following:

  • A reference to a date/time column.

  • A table expression that returns a single column of date/time values.

  • A Boolean expression that defines a single-column table of date/time values.

Note

Constraints on Boolean expressions are described in the topic, CALCULATE Function.

Example

The following sample formula creates a measure that calculates the 'next month sales' for the Internet sales.

To see how this works, create a PivotTable and add the fields, CalendarYear and MonthNumberOfYear, to the Row Labels area of the PivotTable. Then add a measure, named Next Month Sales, using the formula defined in the code section, to the Values area of the PivotTable.

=CALCULATE(SUM(InternetSales_USD[SalesAmount_USD]), NEXTMONTH('DateTime'[DateKey]))
