@anon1569336,

You can calculate the 2 weeks ahead date and modify the Ui selector with that date. This code will give to you the 2 weeks ahead date.

DateTime.Now.AddDays(14).ToString("MM-dd-yyyy")

Hello @anon1569336,

  1. Use the Assign activity to calculate the target date.

targetDate = Now.AddDays(14).ToString(“MMMM d, yyyy”)

  1. If it accepts direct typing, use the Type Into activity to input targetDate

in general it is a 2/3 Click

Click the DropDown like element:

<webctrl aaname='Due date' class='control-label' tag='LABEL' />
<nav up='1' />
<webctrl tag='BUTTON' />

if due date is in the next month, click next month button → [>]

<webctrl tag='BUTTON' type='button' aria-label='next month' />

then select calculated due date (with the help of a dynamized and integrated anchored selector)

<webctrl tag='TABLE' />
<webctrl aria-label='{{strDueDate}}*' tag='BUTTON' />

strDueDate is of format: dueDate.tostring("M/d/yyyy") where dueDate is of DataType: DateTime

The image shows a conditional statement in UiPath's Expression Editor, checking if the month of the parsed due date is equal to the month of the current date plus one month. (Captioned by AI)

this screenshot as a condition : if the condition is true, click next month button then click the date and if the condition is false, click the date only.

btw my logic is true or how to?

I am still begin learn RPA when I open the UI explorer there are many divs like front-end code.

Retrieve the date and month-year for 14 days from the current date as follows:

  • Date: DateTime.Now.AddDays(14).ToString(“dd”)
  • MonthYear: DateTime.Now.AddDays(14).ToString(“MMM yyyy”)

Use these strings dynamically in your UI to select the desired date from the calendar.
