What is the NEXTDAY Function?

The NEXTDAY function in DAX is used to return the date that is one day after the given date. This function takes one argument, which is the date for which you want to calculate the next day. The syntax of this function is as follows:

Using the NEXTDAY Function in Power BI

To use the NEXTDAY function in Power BI, you can create a new measure or column using the DAX formula bar. Let's say you have a table named "Sales" with a column named "Date". You can create a new column named "Next Day" using the following formula:

Next Day = NEXTDAY(Sales[Date])

This will create a new column that contains the date that is one day after the date in the "Date" column.

Applying Filters to NEXTDAY Function

You can also apply filters to the NEXTDAY function to get the next day of a specific date that meets certain criteria. For example, let's say you want to get the next day of the latest date in the "Date" column. You can use the following formula:

Next Day = CALCULATE(NEXTDAY(MAX(Sales[Date])), Sales)

This will return the next day of the latest date in the "Date" column.
