actions to run RPA on specific time based on date in a cell

Hi,
RPA is set to run every day, but it will need to work on a product is it does match 23 days before a date in the file
for example the date in the file is 10/24/2021 (-23 days = 9/22/2021) and today is 6/23/2021.
because the 10th is not today, then the row will be deleted from the collection!
I suppose a calculation stage to use, but I tried different ways with no success...
basically I need a calculation to provide a result of -23 days from  Value Date, so then I can update the decision stage to see if date is equal to today's date..

Could you help?
thank you in advance

Congratulations on the solution, but I believe the correct way to use the "AddDays()" function passing the correct parameter, as shown above.

Try using the AddDays([Your_Date];-23)

Hi @EmersonF​Based on the below all works well, I just met with my colleague and gave me a different request but similar, basically instead of of accept the -23 days prior of a specific date, I would like to do the following , I have 2 cell A dated July 1st and Cell B Dated July 10th, The RPA should pull any product from 1st of July until 10 th of July, if today is either one of these days and all in between!
Can you help once again?
thank you in advance

Hey @LorenzoCapocci1, try it.
My Brazilian time format is dd/mm/yyyy
consider using your time format.
but with this expression it will return the flag you need
