Date Math in Powershell

Published 2022-01-13 by Kevin Feasel

Steve Jones adds 12 years in Powershell:

I saw a fun post on Twitter recently asking days until retirement. I wrote this code:

DECLARE @YearsToRetire INT = 11;
SELECT DATEDIFF (DAY, GETDATE (), (DATEADD (YEAR, @YearsToRetire, GETDATE ())));

I thought that wasn’t bad, but then I wondered, how would I do this in PowerShell? I knew there had to be a way, so I googled and ran into this article.

Normally I need to take off my shoes to add that many years.
