DAY TIME CALCULATION: LAST DAY OF PREVIOUS MONTH

Mr.Aky · Post by **Mr.Aky** » Jun 9th, ’25, 07:01

Hello,
How can I send last day of previous month in a Shortcut ?

In date and time I do not find a way to send last day of previous month.
I can send first day of previous month with this formatting 01/MM/yyyy

Code: Select all

TDate := A_YYYY A_MM "01" ; Start Date of Current Month
TDate += -1, D            ; End Date of Previous Month 
FormatTime, fileDate, %TDate%, dd.MM.yyyy
Send, %fileDate%

To get the last day of the previous month in Shortcuts, try this simple approach:

Get Current Date

Adjust Date

Subtract the number of days equal to the current day (Get Day of Date, then Adjust Date by -[that number] days). This brings you to the last day of the previous month.

Format Date

Format it as dd/MM/yyyy to send.

I used a similar date trick earlier while doing my [SASSA Status Check][/https://srd-sassa-gov.co.za/] – Shortcuts really makes quick calculations like this easy.
