Subtract Days

This function subtracts a specific number of days (for example, 11) from a date with the dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy formats. For instance, assume you want to subtract 11 days from the 25/06/24 (25 June, 2024) date. After you use the SUBDAYS() function to subtract 11 days from the 25/06/24 date, it performs the subtraction and then returns the 14/06/24 (14 June, 2024) date.
