We use T for today's date but I have tried using T-1 and the date comes back as 1/5/10 instead of yesterday's date. Is there a shortcut for yesterday's date in NAV 5.1?

Good afternoon.
As the previous person mentioned, you have the options to set your day
mo=monday
tu=tuesday etc...
The reason why you were getting 01/05/2010 when doing t-1 is because it is going based on the calendar year of Jan-Dec where there are 52 weeks. By doing the dash 1, you are stating take the tuesday in week 1 within the year. If you did t-2 then it would do tuesday within week 2 that being 01/12/2010.
This is how base NAV is coded and if you are looking to do the yesterday, you would need to say t-48 to get 11/30/2010(going based on today's date of 12/01/2010). Beyond this, it would require some type of modification to do any type of formula like -1y, 1w etc...type of formulas.
With coding on a button = yes but with having only to type in 4 numbers 1114 to get to 11/14/2010
I will assume the code change is not very useful.
you can get to a day with 2digits too:
tu=tuesday
we=wednesday
th=thursday
fr=friday
etc..
so if today is thursday and I don't want to type "1117" I could type "we"
