Is there a way to do this?

Hey @edjusted,

Sure – but date-math is hard to wrap your head around to start with.

“0725” is completely meaningless unless you translate it into a format suitable for calculations.

See this post (and the thread in general):

Date Calculations

Keyboard Maestro “Calculate Specific Date in Seconds” Macro Calculate Specific Date in Seconds.kmmacros (4.1 KB) [image] This produces Epoch Seconds. You can do something similar with the Julian Date function like so: %Calculate%JD(2015, 9, 27, 20, 34, 30)% -Chris

If you calculate Epoch Seconds for 7/1 and 7/30 then comparison is simple:

%Calculate%TIME(2016, 7, 1)%
--> 1467331200

%Calculate%TIME(2016, 7, 30)%
--> 1469836800

%Calculate%NOW()%
--> 1469483562

Here's a basic example:
