Dynamic Date Calculations

We have different project types, and each project type has a different number of days is needed to complete a task. We have a sheet of about 30 rows that defines based on what project type, how many days it takes to complete the task. I want to make a date column to say "this is when this task is due" but I'm not sure if it's possible. I'd like my formula to be

[Installation Date]@row - [Days to Complete]@row

But I'm getting an error because the Installation Date is a date type column and the days to complete is a number/text field. Does anyone know how I can achieve this measurement?

Hello @torishriver

Your formula should work if you're adding or subtracting days from a date column even if the "Day to Complete" us a number/text column.

Can you share what error are you getting and share a screenshot of your sheet with the formula if possible?
