Having trouble returning valid dates

    I am not sure you are following. Adding +1 outside the parentheses adds one DAY to my date. I am clear on that. We can forget adding one day to anything. What I need is one YEAR added. How can I accomplish that outside of Carson's "unnecessarily complex" formula?

    Your formula in your original post was already adding one year or two years to the date. Literally the only problem with the original formula was that your +1 was in the wrong spot. If you use the formula you provided in the screenshot of your original post and adjust where the +1 is, you will get the days and the years added as needed.


    Just use your original formula and make the tweaks to the +1s that I suggested and you will have a formula that does what you want it to do including adding years.
