Yes that is what it will give you.

vRefreshMonth = Month(Today() - 1)

vRefreshDate = Date(Today() - 1)

May be this:

vRefreshMonth = Month(Today() - 1)

or for date

vRefreshDate = Date(Today() - 1)

If I' Using the vToday() then above things will work.I have a Column with Cal_Year.

By max(Cal_Taer) i can get the max-Month,date but how to put in the if else logic if(vday=1,vmonth=May,vday=31,vMonth=April)-Actually i'm trying in this way but no luck.Expecting solution as stated.

This doesn't seem like a good way, but may be this:

If(vday = 1 and vmonth = 'May' and vday = 31, 'April')

Sorry,I didn't explained in good way.I kept the expression for Understandable.

I'm expecting in dynamic way if every month start it should take the prior month last date.

Expecting in the multi conditional statement in a Text Object.

How can the above Scenario can be achieved?
