Action Tool - Update with Formula

Mario36

Hi All,

 

I require assistance on the Action Tool. I have a Data Interface tool to provide my 'As of Date' and another action tool which should pick the date from the Data Interface Tool and subtract 5 years from it. Also, another Action tool to subtract 10 years from the 'As Of Date'. I am struggling to use the 'Update Value with Formula' option.

 

Please note that this data is used as an input to an API.

Maybe something like this?

@Qiu , This  can be achieved on the formula tool, but I am looking for it to be configured on the Action Tool as this Date -10 years and -5 Years are required as an input to an API Connector macro. The connection to change this can be accomplished only via an action tool.

Hi @Mario36 ,

 

I've updated your action tools and added another.

I think this is what you're after. I've set the "As of Date" to be the selection, and the subsequent dates to be -5 and -10 years from that date.

 

Hope this helps,

 

M.
