Rename file in Sharepoint - prior day from current.

Posted on by Hedgie 4

I am able to rename a file using the utcNow function - however I want the name to be the day before.   In other words, if the file arrives on 4/8/22 I want the name to contain 4/7/22 instead.  Is this possible?

    Hi @Hedgie 

     

    You can use adddays.

     

    addDays(utcnow(),-1, 'dd MM yyyy')
     

    Please consider accepting my answer as a solution if it helps to solve your problem.

    Cheers
    Damien
