Hi @SumanthI17001889

You can this below function

**FormatDateTime(addCalendar(getCurrentDateStamp(),‘2’,“”,“”,“”,“”,“”,“”),“yyyy-MM-dd”,“”,“”)**

Note: addCalendar function is the actual function to add the year and FormatDateTime is used to convert date into required date format.

Regards

Mamatha

Hi @SumanthI17001889,

To add 2 years to a given date in Pega, use the @addToDate() function.  
**@(Pega function) : AddToDate(“2022-05-17”, 2, “years”)**

Where “2” indicates the number of years to add.

Thanks.
