here is the sample example for relativeFunction ,

=If(DayName(CurrentDate())=”Monday”;RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-3);If(DayName(CurrentDate())=”Sunday”;RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-2);RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-1)))

Lets break down this formula.

An IF expression has three components:

If(boolean_expr;value if true;value if false)

The boolean_expr part is the statement that we test.

In our case, we want to check if the CurrentDate() is a Monday.

If it is true that it is a Monday, we want to use the RelativeDate function to subtract 3 days from the CurrentDate().

If it is false, i.e. the current date is not a Monday, we need to perform a further check. This requires a second IF statement to perform this second check.

The second check asks if the CurrentDate() is a Sunday.

If it is true that it is a Sunday, we want to use the RelativeDate function to subtract 2 days from the CurrentDate().

If it is false, i.e. the current date is not a Sunday, and we know its not a Monday as we checked for that previously, then we know that the day is a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday and hence we can safely use RelativeDate with a value of -1 to give us the previous working day.

Hi,

You can use

if you want add Days : Date(num(day+3))

if you want to add Months : AddMonths(Datefield,2)

If you want to add Years : AddYears(Datefield,2)

For details go to Help Menu.
