Hi
How to subtract No of days from Date
Thanks
*This post is locked for comments
Use Calcdate function
NewDate :=CALCDATE('-2D',Today);
In my case Days are stored in variable
NewDate := TODAY - 2
is the same as suggested by Amol above:
NewDate := CALCDATE('-2D', TODAY);
Hi,
As already suggested, you must use the CALCDATE function when you want to calculate a date based on another date.
The first parameter is a DateFormula data type so the variable you use to store "No. of days" must be converted to a DateFormula.
Note: to assign a value to a DateFormula data type, whether it is a field or a variable, you must use the EVALUATE Function.
Your code would read something like this :
NoOfDays := -3; //Integer
IF FORMAT(NoOfDays) <> '' THEN BEGIN
EVALUATE(MyDateFormula,STRSUBSTNO('-%1D',FORMAT(ABS(NoOfDays))));
NewDate := CALCDATE(MyDateFormula,TODAY);
MESSAGE('%1',NewDate);
END;
Hope this helps,
Bleika
