Hi,

I'm currently trying to write the date that is 91 days from my end date (which is set in a variable).

My variable varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate = 3/31/2022

I have written this code to start but not sure how to get the return date...

DateValue(DateDiff(Today(), varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate)-91)

This gives me a value of 1/1/1990?

I would like to SET the datediff value in a variable as well to be used later.

Appreciate your support 🙂

Please consider changing your Formula to the following:

DateAdd(Today(), varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate, -91)

I hope this is helpful for you.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-dateadd-datediff

DateDiff(Today(), DateAdd(varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate,-91,Days), Days)

That should get you the diference. It will return an int (1, 2, 3, 4, etc)

To set that in a var:

Set(varDiference, DateDiff(Today(), DateAdd(varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate,-91,Days), Days))

The formula is correct. But for something else...my bad for not noticing.

The formula should be:

DateAdd(varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate, -91)
