Display Last Year's Date

[AnthonyJ]

I am trying to display last year's date based on the current date. I used a layout calculation and tried using the following syntax but getting a parsing error -

_add_years(current_date,-1)

_add_years(Today(),-1)


Any ideas ?

The _add_years function needs a timestamp, not a date which Today returns. Try this instead: _add_years(date2timestamp(Today()),-1)

Thanks. That worked ! :)
