Hi, You are probably getting the error, because the mult expression has the wrong type. The function [addday](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/vql/appendix/syntax_of_condition_functions/date_processing_functions#addday) needs an int or a long type field for the second parameter. You could use the [cast](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/vql/appendix/syntax_of_condition_functions/type_conversion_functions#cast) function to convert the data type to int/long. Hope this helps!
