Calculate Date from the past

[Philthebill]

Hi, 

I want to calculate a certain date in the past. I have as Input the Date of today and the parameter for example 10 Years ago. So I want for example 01.01.2021 - 10 Years = 01.01.2011. 

I tried different ways, but couldn't get the right result... 

Thanks guys!

Here is my best practices article on dates:

Short story for you solution:  Use the Add to datetime action and go minus 10 years.

If you need the first day of this year, follow the article (it has text you can copy and paste at the bottom).  Instead of Beginning Day this Month using %ThisMonth_mm%, just use '01' to represent January.
