I have a function {{dateMath application_status_changed.submittedAt"+6d" format="short"}} to determine the day an application will expire. I need to embed a second function so that I can get the number of days from today (day of email send) to the date calculated in the function I have. The use will be to say "Your application will expire in # of days." How do I write that?
Hello @Heather Julian ,

You can use a similar expression to this one
https://support.iterable.com/hc/en-us/articles/205480365-Personalizing-Templates-with-Handlebars-#date-math-from-now-datemath
{{dateMath "now" "-24h" format="yyyyMMddHHmmss"}}
Where you can change the format to format="D"
So the expression should be {{dateMath "now" "-24h" format="D"}}

If that doesn't work please email support@iterable.com and send them the test template you are working in and someone will help you there.

Best,
Brian
@"Brian Schlesinger" Thanks. I think I need to clarify my question a bit, though.

I need to calculate with datemath on one of our data points +6days, as you explained.

Then I need to calculate the number of days between that calculated date and "now" to display in the email.
hi @"Brian Schlesinger" I ran into a similar use case where I needed to get the days between now and a date calculated in the email as X days from a profile date.
@Iterable Any help on this one?
