    Hi AklG,

    There is a DateTimeUtil class which has a method called addDays. This can also be used with a negative number. Then you are substracting days from a given date. You probably need to convert the date to utcdatetime and vice-versa.

    If the second parameter is negative, the days would be subtracted.

    DateTimeUtil::addDays(DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime(), -10)

    The answers above might help if you're calculating the value in code and then using the calculated date in a query range. By the way, you can also use the minus operator with dates (e.g. systemDateGet() - 7).

    But if you want to put an expression to a query definition that would calculate the date, you need something like (day(-7)).
