There are two ways to do math on dates in Parabola based on what you’re trying to accomplish: 
  1. To find the number of days between two dates, use the Compare dates step. Using this step, you can either compare two date columns against each other, or compare a date column against the current date.
  2. To add a number of days to a date, use the Custom transform step. This step can do any date computation you can think of—from comparing dates to adding a number of days to a date.
When in doubt, simply type into the Custom transform step what you’re trying to perform and it should be able to perform any date computation you’re trying to accomplish.
