Add/Subtract Date

Calculate a date by adding or subtracting days, months, and/or years to an existing date. The variables containing the existing date parameters will be overwritten by the result of the calculation.

  • The existing date must be stored in variables

  • The days, months, and/or years to be added to or subtracted from the existing date can be entered manually or copied from values stored in variables

To learn more about properly formatting these variables, see A NOTE ABOUT FORMATTING.

  1. Select the Input date type (Current date, use variables for date, or Custom format).

  2. Enter the number of days/months/years you would like to add to or subtract from the existing date.

    To subtract days/months/years, enter the values as negative (If you are subtracting using variables, the values stored in the variables must be negative).

  3. Select the date regional format to be used for the input and output (when applicable).

  4. Instruct the wizard how to handle any errors encountered. Read more about error handling.
