Today last year in MMMM dd, yyyy format

  • Okay, this one really does have me stumped. In a header field, I want to use an expression to display today last year in MMMM dd, yyyy format.

    MMMM dd, yyyy.

    I get an error when I try this:

    =DateAdd("yyyy",-1,FormatDateTime(today(),"MMMM dd, yyyy"))

    I get 5/7/2011 12:00:00 AM (which isn't the format I want) when I try this:

    =DateAdd("yyyy",-1,FormatDateTime(today(),"MMMM dd, yyyy"))

    Would anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, as always, for the help.

    This should work:

    =Format(DateAdd(DateInterval.Year, -1,Now()), "MMMM dd, yyyy")
