    Formula to calculate future date; applied to whole column

    Hi. I'm sure this question has been asked before but I can't seem to find the specific answer anywhere.

    I have two date columns formatted with Short Date. Column E is the date we receive the item and Column F is the date the item is due, 14 days from the date of receipt.

    I would like to apply a formula to the entire Column F to calculate the Column E date plus 14 days, keeping in mind that most of Column E is blank but will be filled in as we receive the items. In other words I would like Column F to automatically fill in the due date once I enter the received date in Column E.

    If anyone could help me out I would be infinitely grateful.

    Thanks.

    You can use a formula like this in F2 copied down

    =IF(E2="","",E2+14)

    If you make your data into a "table" (Insert > Table) then you don't really need to copy formulas down the columns, each time you add new data to the next row the table automatically expands to include that row and add the necessary formulas
