Formula to add previous month to dataset

CDIns

Looking for a formula that will add the 'Reporting Date' to my dataset. I always complete this task the first week of the following month. So next week during first week of august, I'll need my report to say 7/31/24. 

 

I am currently using the below formula:

 

Datetimeadd(datetimefirstofmonth(),-1,'days')

 

Its giving my the correct reporting date of 06/30/24 however, its also including the time. The time date is formatted as 2024-06-30. 

 

 

Is there anyway to remove the timestamp? and convert the format from 2024-06-30 to 06/30/24? 

 

Thanks in advance,

You can do this quite simply by adding the following function:

 

DateTimeFormat(Datetimeadd(datetimefirstofmonth(),-1,'days'), "%m/%d/%Y")

 

Hope this helps and Happy Solving!
