Considerations when using the DATESINPERIOD function
The dates argument can be a reference to a date/time column.
If the number specified for number_of_intervals is positive, the dates are moved forward in time; if the number is negative, the dates are shifted back in time.
The interval parameter is an enumeration, not a set of strings; therefore values should not be enclosed in quotation marks. Also, the values: year, quarter, month, day should be spelled in full when using them.
The result table includes only dates that appear in the values of the underlying table column.
