@wonka1234  a couple of date calculations can do this one for you, parse and format.

To fully match your output you can then just summarize

@JamesCharnley  what if my date format is '2021-08-31' and a string? I am getting null using your formula.

@wonka1234  I did my DateTimeParse formula to match your given input (with the slashes). If your date is a string in another format you need to change the parameter to match it, whatever it is. Though your example is the correct ISO format for Alteryx (yyyy-mm-dd)
