Field with DATEADD function not matching value in other Date field

[CharlieMullin]

I have a Date field (Date Asset Added) whose value is entered manually formatted like this:

12/8/2023

Another field (Date RM) contains this formula:

DATEADD({Date Asset Added}, 0, 'day')  which outputs this:

12/8/2023.  12:00am

I want to execute an automtion when these two values match, which they don't. So I tried using thiis:

DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Date Asset Added}, 0, ‘days’), ‘M/D/YYYY’)) which outputs this:

2023-12-08T00:00:00+00:00

 I think that DATETIME_FORMAT turns the date value into text. In any case, what formula can I use to get the value of the field Date RM to match the value in Date Asset Added?

Hi @CharlieMullin ,

Have you tried formatting the DateRM field to not include time?

Hi Ella, thanks for that tip, which worked!

I got into trouble when I tried wrapping the DATEADD function inside a DATETIME_FORMAT function which changed the field type from Date to Text.

And all I had to do was turn off including time.
