**Example**

In this example, we will pass a date time offset value, and an integer value (indicating days to be added or subtracted) to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*date* = 01-02-2023

*days* = 8

In the output window, you can see that the provided integer value, indicating the number of days, has been added to the given date time offset value.
