Question

Hello all,
I want to compare the Due Date should not be tomorrow in SharePoint designer workflow. Can any one please suggest me how can I achieve it? I don't want the workflow to be fired when Due Date is tomorrow.
Eg: If Current Item:Due Date is not equal to Tomorrow
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Cherry- two ways you can achieve this: using a calculated column. Have another column that is defaulted to today's date. Then make a calculated column that = today column - due date. In your workflow, check to see if that calculated column = 1. If so, perform your action.
Or you can use the add time to date function in your workflow and store that in a variable. Then check that variable before performing your action. See the following link for details:

You need to use the else / if statement in your workflow. Here is a video that may help.
