ADF - Dynamic content with variable

Question

Hello,

This works fine below......I want to replace the -90 with a parameter value like so... "pipeline().parameters.P_DaysToGoBack"

@formatdatetime(
adddays(
converttimezone(
utcnow()
,'UTC'
,'Eastern Standard Time'
)
,-90 )
,'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss'
)

Thanks
GV

Hi @Sword55 ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for your query.

Please try below expression and it should help achieve your requirement.

@formatdatetime(adddays(converttimezone(utcnow(),'UTC','Eastern Standard Time'),int(concat('-', string(pipeline().parameters.P_DaysToGoBack)))),'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss')  

Another approach is you need to use the below expression and pass the parameter/variable value as negative integer (-90):

@formatdatetime(adddays(converttimezone(utcnow(),'UTC','Eastern Standard Time'),pipeline().parameters.P_DaysToGoBack ),'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss')  

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have further query.
