NewLength = startLength x #1.007^d# where d is the number of days

Explanation:

This is like a compound interest question. Take your original value and multiply it by 1 + the percentage (as a decimal) and then raise it to the power of the number of days or years. If it was decreasing in value, you would do 1 - the percentage. Remember 0.7% is 0.007 as a decimal.
