Hi @BhavaniB1841,

Currently there is no OOTB for requirement. you have to customize it .

Hi @BhavaniB1841

Hope you are doing well.

Currently you cannot achieve this functionality from one OOTB function. But you can get this in 2 steps:

  1. Get the current month using the function @DateTime.month(@DateTime.dateTimeToBigDecimal(@DateTime.CurrentDateTime(),“”,tools))

  2. Subtract the value you get in previous step by 1, to get the value for previous month.

  3. Create a decision table which will hold and return the name of month (0-11) and also add -1for the scenario when the current month is January(because January gives month value of 0,in step 2 we will get 0-1=-1) so in your decision table there will be 2 values for December-> 11 and -1.

Please let me know if this resolves your issue.

Kind Regards
