Slow to respond

Hi everyone, some of you may of noticed that I am not posting much right now and haven't been responding to posts.  I had a fall over the Christmas holidays and ended up with a mild concussion, nothing to worry about but I haven't had the energy lately to reply back to everything.  I am getting better everyday and hopefully will start to respond to peoples posts as I feel up to it.

Thanks

Add Months to Date

Hello, 
Would anyone be able to tell me how to add a specified number of months to a date? I'm looking for a function that has the same functionality as Excel's EDate function. For example, if I have a date of 10/1/18 in one column, and a number of "11" in another number, I would like to append a column that will add 11 months to 10/1/18, to return 9/1/19. 
Thanks!

Unable to Open Database error

Have been trying to open an IDEA database file from within IDEA and when I try to open the file an error box comes up with the statement "Unable to Open Database". All other database files in the working directory can be opened except for this one database. Could the database be corrupt? I have tried renaming the database in Windows, moving the database to another folder location and nothing seems to fix this error.
Any help would be appreciated :)
 

Enhancing IDEA with Tableau or Power BI

With 10.3 there has been further enhancements to the graphical reporting with Discover and Visualize.  I used them recently to report to Senior Management which was very well received. I wondered if anyone had used IDEA to integrate with Tableau or Power BI to improve such reporting? If so, what were the benefits?
