Can you subtract days based on case when statements?
Hello!
I have a case when statement that I need to subtract a certain amount of days based off of:
Case
when 'ID' = '1066' THEN `Maturity Date` - 45
when 'ID' = '1019' THEN `Maturity Date` - 55
when 'ID' = '2600' THEN `Maturity Date` - 66
when 'ID' = '2507' THEN `Maturity Date` - 70
when 'ID' = '1075' THEN `Maturity Date` - 75
when 'ID' = '2669' THEN `Maturity Date` - 85
ELSE `Maturity Date` - 60
END
This comes back as an error as it's trying to have the output be a floating decimal instead of a date.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. (I'm still fairly new to using Domo)

You will want to use the DATE_SUB function to subtract days from a given date. It would look like this:
Case when 'ID' = '1066' THEN DATE_SUB(`Maturity Date`, INTERVAL 45 day) when 'ID' = '1019' THEN DATE_SUB(`Maturity Date`, INTERVAL 55 day) when 'ID' = '2600' THEN DATE_SUB(`Maturity Date`, INTERVAL 66 day) when 'ID' = '2507' THEN DATE_SUB(`Maturity Date`, INTERVAL 70 day) when 'ID' = '1075' THEN DATE_SUB(`Maturity Date`, INTERVAL 75 day) when 'ID' = '2669' THEN DATE_SUB(`Maturity Date`, INTERVAL 85 day) ELSE DATE_SUB(`Maturity Date`, INTERVAL 66 day) END
As far as returning a floating decimal instead of a date, I'm not sure what you would expect to be returned when you are wanting to subtract a number of days from a date.
