Visual Workflow Challenge

I'm stuck. User-added imageUser-added image
Please help! I'm having difficulty with the "set the close date to one month from today" portion.  I looked at a previous discussion and tried the suggested formulas - TODAY() +30, {!$System.OriginDateTime} +30, DATE(year, month+1,day), and DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+1,DAY(TODAY())) yet I keep getting an error in my formula.

Hi Liezele,
When you create a formula in visual workflow make sure that the "Value Data Type" is Date. By default this value is Text.
You can try {!$Flow.CurrentDate}+30 . This worked for me.
Hope this helps.
Please mark this as the best answer if it solves your query. Let me know if you have any more queries.
Thanks

Hi Liezele,

I did not write any formula for the closedate.
Here in the challenge, we don't need a closedate field on the input screen as specified.

While selecting the date in opportunity just choose the date in next month.
 
please see below screenshot.

Please let us know if this helps you.

Thanks and Regards

Thank you - figured it out =) I had to delete the incorrect formulas I keyed in for the closing date. Kept it simple, and simply clicked a date in August.

If this solves your question, please mark it as solved.  It will make it available for other as the proper solution.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to point out (since it is not in this thread or any other) that in order to add one month to the date, the formula must be
carried out in a variable and then the variable put into the field. I spent a considerable amount of time wrestling with that issue so I felt I should make it known on the forums.
