I have an array that contains a number of dates. I want to provide a month i.e 11 and have Appian return the date for the next month.
i.e
List of Timestamp: 12 items24/04/2018 12:00 BST 29/05/2018 12:00 BST 26/06/2018 12:00 BST 24/07/2018 12:00 BST 21/08/2018 12:00 BST 18/09/2018 12:00 BST 16/10/2018 12:00 BST 13/11/2018 12:00 GMT 11/12/2018 12:00 GMT 29/01/2019 12:00 GMT 26/02/2019 12:00 GMT 26/03/2019 12:00 GMT
Provide '10' and have as a return
13/11/2018 12:00 GMT
I've tried using wherecontains to get the index but it only matches if i provide a full string (16/10/2018 12:00 BST ), not a subset. Any ideas ?

Hi Pauls0003, The following code should serve your purpose.
convert your array using touniformString() function and then this code will work for your case. load( local!dates: { "24/04/2018 12:00 BST", "29/05/2018 12:00 BST", "26/06/2018 12:00 BST", "24/07/2018 12:00 BST", "21/08/2018 12:00 BST", "10/09/2018 12:00 BST", "16/10/2018 12:00 BST", "13/11/2018 12:00 GMT", "11/12/2018 12:00 GMT", "29/01/2019 12:00 GMT", "26/02/2019 12:00 GMT", "26/03/2019 12:00 GMT" }, local!findValue: 10, index( local!dates, index( where( a!forEach( local!dates, toboolean( find( local!findValue, fv!item, 2 ) ) ) ), 1, - 1 ) + 1, null ) ) Please let me know if this helps.
