add +1 day to date

KLS
8 - Asteroid

hello,

 

im trying to add + 1 day to below system date so should be 5 September 20. I am not particular on the structure of date so long it adds 1 day to the System Date. Have tried using formula using DateTimeAdd(DateTimeParse([SystemDate],"d-mon-%y"),+1,"days") but it return as Null. Many thanks in advance!

Hi @KLS ,

 

You almost got it right. 

DateTimeAdd(DateTimeParse([SystemDate],"%d-%b-%y"),+1,"days")

 

To know more about the parameter, see here: https://help.alteryx.com/current/designer/datetime-functions

 

Best,

Hello @KLS ,

 

Building on @fmvizcaino  , if you want as a string and in the same format

 

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeParse([f],"%d-%b-%y"),+1,"days"),'%d-%b-%y')

Hi @KLS,

 

Here is the solution:

Hi @KLS , just replace %y with %Y, like this.

 

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeParse([SystemDate],"%d-%b-%y"),+1,"days"),'%d-%b-%Y')

and it will work.

 

Thanks.

Hello @KLS ,

 

sorry mate I was occupied.

 

Her is an idea on the file naming.

 

please pay attention to the options in red. You may not want to override. You may need to output the filepath. It is currently pointing to my local path.

 

Well, I hope it helps or gives you an idea.
