    Date calculations - adding number of days to a date

    Cell A1 contains a number, which is the number of days.

    Cell D6 has a date entered.
    The next cell along (E6) I want to have it show the figure in A1 added to the date in D6.

    The figure in A1 can change. I want to be able to change this figure and the date in E6 will change accordingly.

    Can this be done? Please advise.

    Thanks.

    Re: Date calculations - adding number of days to a date

    E6 formula: =D6+A1 formatted as a date

    A date is simply a number, that number being the day number starting with 01/01/1900 (day 1).

    Today, 10 March 2011, is day 40612.

    Regards

    Re: Date calculations - adding number of days to a date

    Cell A1 has date, I need to appear automatically in cell A2 the date + 15, Exampal when I print in cell A1 the date 01-Mar-2011, in cell A2 automatically appear 15-Mar-2011.
    Right now I do this =sum(cell A1+15) but remaining all cells this type of date appear 15-Jan-00 please solve this with suitable formula

    Really, you should start your own thread.

    However:

    =A1+14 will give you 15 March 2011 ... you will need appropriate formatting
