Hi @ali4oman and @bymaho,  
Answer 1:  
If you have a table of how many days are in each month, you can add a **number** of days to your date by:

1. if (days left in month) \< number, set new date to last day of original month, set **number** to ( **number** - (days left in month)).  
Example: 14 Feb 2019 + 100 days = 28 Feb 2019 + 86 days
2. For as long as the next month of days is less than **number** , add 1 month to new date and take that many days away from **number**  
Example: 28 Feb 2019 + 86 days = 31 Mar 2019 + 55 days = 30 Apr 2019 + 25 days
3. Add the remaining **number** to your date  
Example: 30 Apr 2019 + 25 days = 25 May 2019

Answer 2:  
Using a method like above, if two dates are in different months the # of days between them is (days between start date and end of month) + (days between end date and start of month) + (number of days in any full months between start date and end date)

Answer 3:  
If you use the [date input](https://docs.thunkable.com/date-input) in your app, you can see what the day of the month was on a given date. If you want to type a date and get a day of the week, use an API with our [Web API](https://docs.thunkable.com/web-api) component for this purpose.

Answer 4: [There sure is!](https://docs.thunkable.com/date-input)

Hope this helps 😄
