Yesterday's Date Issue

[jssrecording 3]

I'm trying to get yesterdays date in year month day format 2017-01-25.

 

How would you use the $date for this tackle?

 

Any help would be great!

Here you go:

set(#yesterday,$Yesterday(),"Global")
define $Yesterday {
    comment("Convert to Unix time so we can easily subtract a day (in seconds).")
    set(#unixTimeConversion,$plugin function("DateTime Manipulation.dll", "$datetime manipulation", $date, "UBOT", "UNIX", "en-US", "en-US"),"Local")
    comment("Subtract 86,400 seconds (one day) then return in desiered format")
    return($plugin function("DateTime Manipulation.dll", "$datetime manipulation", $subtract(#unixTimeConversion,86400), "UNIX", "yyyy-MM-dd", "en-US", "en-US"))
}

You will need this: http://network.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic/13665-free-plugin-datetime-manipulation/

 

It works by first converting today's date into a Unix timestamp. We do this so that we can subtract a day by subtracting the number of seconds in a day rather than trying to guess what day/month/year etc is that would be a nightmare to account for all of that. Then convert the Unix time of exactly 24 hours ago into the format that you want and return that.

Here is a plugin free solution with Python.

alert($python result("yesterday","import datetime
datetime.date.fromordinal(datetime.date.today().toordinal()-1)"))
