New Date and Time Functions

I like the new feature of providing an output timestamp via analysis. To use this even more I would like to see more date and time functions: - AddMonths(), AddDays(), AddHours(), ... for adding or subtracting time ranges. - DateSerial(yy, mm, dd [, hh, mi, ss]) for creating a new date time - PIString() function that outputs a date time as a string using the PI time format - String() function with custom formats - Useful could also be WeekDayName() and MonthName() (both in English and in local time format)

    Thank you very much for sharing your feedback on the PI Server. After further evaluation, we have decided to decline this item, as we are not planning on implementing it in the near future due to other high priority items across the PI System. Thank you for your feedback, and know that we are listening and reviewing every item that gets submitted!

    Adding '+1d' to a date does not work as expected on DST date: '31-mar-19 00:00+1d' evaluates to '01-apr-19 00:00' BUT '31-mar-19 00:00' + '+1d' evaluates to '01-apr-19 01:00' I assume '+1d' is internally evaluated to 24*60*60 seconds.
