Format Date

Hi 

I am trying to write a formula that will show the dates as follows (ie always 7 digits)

2021001

2021002

2021003

2021010

2021011

 

Depending on current month -1

 

ie now would be 2021008 so I would need to consider when I get to January it would need to be 2021012

 

Please can someone help.

 

thanks so much

Hi @RR8 

 

Use formula like below

 

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(),-1,"month"),"%Y0%m")
