Hi Pingili,
In the form builder user guide, you have a specific section about XPath and all functions that are available. You can use xpath exactly the same way as a xml file.
Hope it helps.

Yes you can try something like that :
<xforms:bind nodeset="Now" calculate="days-from-date(now())"/> <xforms:bind nodeset="Year" calculate="substring(now(), 1, 4)"/> <xforms:bind nodeset="Christmas" calculate="concat(../Year, '-12-25')"/> <xforms:bind nodeset="ChristmasDay" calculate="days-from-date(../Christmas)"/> <xforms:bind nodeset="Result" calculate="../ChristmasDay - ../Now"/>
