How can I use EXSLT extensions to subtract a date.
I see that there is a date-add function, but the EXSLT docs don't include any examples. I am trying to take the current date and subtract 1 month for example.
To subtract, add a negative durations.
See details in the XML Schema specification.
date:add($now, '-P1M')

I explored all the functions available in the transformer, but I couldn't find the exact function to get the last day of the previous month in standard format, i.e. dd/mm/yyyy. Please help me in this regard.
The field that needs to appear is in the COL_C field.
enter image description here
inside it I can't put anything that returns me this result
You can use DateOffsetByComponents to substract the current day.
Cut out the day part from your date and substract it with above function.
i.e. 16/12/2022 - 16 = 30/11/2022
I'm trying to calculate the difference between current month and previous month.
The date field in my DB called C_DATE (dd/MM/YYYY), and I'm using in my sheet a date filter in the format: Year(C_DATE)&'-'& Num( Month(C_DATE),'00'). So when the user choose month (for example 2022-05), he will see the difference in the data between May and April.
I've already tried to calculate by:
count ({<Answer_num={">=6"}, C_DATE={">=$(=(MonthStart(Max(C_DATE))))<=$(=(MonthEnd(Max(C_DATE))))"}>}Answer_num) -
count ({<Answer_num={">=6"}, C_DATE={">=$(=(AddMonths( MonthStart(Max(C_DATE)),-1)))<=$(=(MonthStart(Max(C_DATE)))))"}>}Answer_num)
but i'm getting wrong outcome. is it maybe because of the date filter format? What can I do?
Thank you!
I think this is a matter of getting the date format correct and using the proper set operator. This may work:
=Count({1<Answer_num={">=6"}, C_DATE={">=$(=Date(MonthStart(Max(C_DATE)), 'DD/MM/YYYY'))<=$(=Date(MonthEnd(Max(C_DATE)), 'DD/MM/YYYY'))"}>*$} Answer_num)
-
Count({1<Answer_num={">=6"}, C_DATE={">=$(=Date(AddMonths(MonthStart(Max(C_DATE)),-1), 'DD/MM/YYYY'))<=$(=Date(MonthStart(Max(C_DATE)), 'DD/MM/YYYY'))"}>*$} Answer_num)
This adds the =Date(..., 'DD/MM/YYYY') expression to the set expressions so that the formatting matches the format of the [C_DATE] field. We also add the * set operator so that we get the intersection between the selection ($) and our ">=...<=..." set expression.
I'm sort of guess on the use of the intersection operator, it could be that the union operator (+) is the correct one to use in this case.
I'm trying to calculate maturity date of a term loan using information from the application. I know the functions to brake down a given date mm/dd/yyyy into date, month and year. Is there a function to create the new date after i've changed these values.
for example - a 360 month term loan with first payment date on 1/17/2016 will expire on 12/17/2045.
Please help!
Thank you very much.
If your XSLT processor includes, or can load a version of, the EXSLT extension libraries, those can provide date manipulation functions (http://exslt.org/date/).
If you are using XSLT 2.0, date functions are included.
If neither of these is available, you get to implement it yourself, possibly by using custom extension functions that call Java date methods.
I want to calculate the number of days passed between past date and a current date. My past date is in the format dd/mm/yyyy format. I have used below mentioned formulas but giving the proper output.
=DAYS360(A2,TODAY())
=MINUS(D2,TODAY())
In the above formula A2 = 4/12/2012 (dd/mm/yyyy) and I am not sure whether TODAY returns in dd/mm/yyyy format or not. I have tried using 123 button on the tool bar, but no luck.
The following seemed to work well for me:
=DATEDIF(B2, Today(), "D")
DAYS360 does not calculate what you want, i.e. the number of days passed between the two dates – see the end of this post for details.
MINUS() should work fine, just not how you tried but the other way round:
=MINUS(TODAY(),D2)
You may also use simple subtraction (-):
=TODAY()-D2
I made an updated copy of #DrCord’s sample spreadsheet to illustrate this.
Are you SURE you want DAYS360? That is a specialized function used in the
financial sector to simplify calculations for bonds. It assumes a 360 day
year, with 12 months of 30 days each. If you really want actual days, you'll
lose 6 days each year.

Since this is the top Google answer for this, and it was way easier than I expected, here is the simple answer. Just subtract date1 from date2.
If this is your spreadsheet dates
A B
1 10/11/2017 12/1/2017
=(B1)-(A1)
results in 51, which is the number of days between a past date and a current date in Google spreadsheet
As long as it is a date format Google Sheets recognizes, you can directly subtract them and it will be correct.
To do it for a current date, just use the =TODAY() function.
=TODAY()-A1
While today works great, you can't use a date directly in the formula, you should referencing a cell that contains a date.
=(12/1/2017)-(10/1/2017) results in 0.0009915716411, not 61.
I used your idea, and found the difference and then just divided by 365 days. Worked a treat.
=MINUS(F2,TODAY())/365
Then I shifted my cell properties to not display decimals.
If you are using the two formulas at the same time, it will not work...
Here is a simple spreadsheet with it working:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiOy0YDBXjt4dDJSQWg1Qlp6TEw5SzNqZENGOWgwbGc
If you are still getting problems I would need to know what type of erroneous result you are getting.
Today() returns a numeric integer value: Returns the current computer system date. The value is updated when your document recalculates. TODAY is a function without arguments.
The following worked for me. Kindly note that TODAY() must NOT be the first argument in the function otherwise it will not work.
=DATEDIF( W2, TODAY(), "d")
Today() does return value in DATE format.
Select your "Days left field" and paste this formula in the field
=DAYS360(today(),C2)
Go to Format > Number > More formats >Custom number format and select the number with no decimal numbers.
I tested, it works, at least in new version of Sheets, March 2015.
I have two dates given as Zend_Date(). I must check the following:
if theese dates are in the same month day (for example: second day of the month, year does not matter),
if dates are from exactly the same day(for example 2 december 2012);
To check the dates are the exact same day, you can check each individual part separately.
Zend_Date('your-date-here',Zend_Date::DAY);
This returns a date object that specifically gives you the day for the 'your-date-here' and it accepts a variety of formats; for example, I use php's date function as:
$myDate = date('Y-m-d-H-i-s');
$dateDayObject = Zend_Date($myDate, Zend_Date::DAY);
and now $dateDayObject will have the value of the 'd' in it.
You can use DAY, WEEK, YEAR... there are many constant all defined here:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/zend.date.constants.html
Finally, to test if they are in the same day of the month, you can use a combination of loops and if statement and the same method as above to write your own function to check the day within the month or there may be a defined constant for it. Good luck.
