Is there a way to Force a Date or Time?

Brigette Lepe

I am trying to have some date fields auto-populate based on some restrictions. Date Columns 2, 3 and 4 would be dependent on Date column 1.

For example:

An Inspection must always occur at least 2 days after Work Start. If I enter Work Start to be 1/20/2020, I want the Inspection Date to auto-populate to 1/22/2020. Inspection Date could be adjusted for a later date, but not an earlier date.

Hi Brigette,

Try something like this.

Be aware that if you change the date in the Inspection Date, it will delete the formula.

=[Work Start]@row + 2

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

=[Work Start]@row + 2

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

Did it work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,
