Hi @kaavya
You can do for example as follows:
Get the current date per Today() function.
Replace the first two characters with 01. I mean replace for example 06.08.2021 with 01.08.2021
To do that you need get substring or replace string function etc.
Then you can calculate the next month using the current date also.
You can read the month per substring. And then you can set it + 1
and you can also replace the first two characters with 06.

You can watch also some videos on this channel to get more informations about substrings and dates: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgmw5KA88D6jS8lPBzEXFgA
