Laura,
Don't think date subtractions work in ODK. Read through

Hi there,
I'm currently creating an ODK form in Excel and then using the XLSForm tool to convert it. I would be really grateful if anybody could advise me on how to specify that a question is only relevant if date 2 is more than or equal to six months since date 1:
Q1: What is the date of the current consultation? (Calendar)
Q2: What is the date of the client's last blood pressure check? (Calendar)
Q3: Check and record the client's blood pressure... (Relevant: only if Q2 is more than or equal to six months since Q1)
Thanks!

There is now a function:
decimal-date-time(aDateTime)
that will return a decimal number that represents the date or date-time
value in a given field.
where 1 = 1 day
and:
date-time(aDecimalValue)
that should convert a decimal value back into a dateTime.
i.e., aDateTime = date-time(decimal-date-time(aDateTime))
So you could do:
date-time( decimal-date-time(${startDateTime}) + 3 )
to get the day 3 days from the ${startDateTime} field
HOWEVER: due to internal quirks in the library, date and dateTime
arithmetic is often truncated such that the time portion of the field is
lost.
So your date arithmetic is likely to be broken or inaccurate when adding
hours or fractional days and could be off by up to 23 hours 59 minutes, 59
seconds.
But for 6 months, that should be good enough?
You can then add or
