Welcome to the community

Now.adddays(-1) will give you the previous date

And to get in required format use now.adddays(-1).Tostring("dd.MM.yyyy")

Remaining can you be more specific on what is needed

Cheers

@amaia.aristeguii

Create an array like this

{now.adddays(-1),now.adddays(-2),now.adddays(-3)}

Else create a liat and use add to collection/append to collection to add items to it

Maybe some imports?¿

@amaia.aristeguii

Can you tell me what is the project type is it windows or C#?

If you write ‘datetime.’ is it showing any methods?

This is the complete namespace System.DateTime.Now Or Today both should work

I hope system is imported in the imports

cheers

Hello @amaia.aristeguii

You can use Modify Date activity to do the calculation on the date and then add that value to the list you can use “Append Item to collection” activity.

Thanks

@amaia.aristeguii

Please use like this

Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek).Contains("Monday")

Or

Convert.ToString(DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek).Contains("Monday")

Both would work
