    Hi Ammar,

    Welcome!

    Can you maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

    Have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    Hi there all,

    thanks for the advice on the functionality. This will be very useful but what I am seeing is the following message:

     

    "As the sheet admin, you can allow this change. It will not affect the restriction setting."

     

    The formula I am using is in a column that has been configured to be a date and is adding/subtracting an offset in days to/from a date in a second column. Can anyone give me a hint where to find this "restriction" or is this something that I just need to put up with as an administration?

     

    Thanks

     

    Pete

    Hi Violet,

    Try something like this.

    =[Source Data Cell]@row + [Desired Number of Calendar Days]@row

    The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.

    =[Source Data Cell]@row + [Desired Number of Calendar Days]@row

    Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

    Did it work?

    Hope that helps!

    Have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,
