Formula Help

Super

I'm currently using smartsheet to store alot of data. I have one column label "PIO DATE". This field has dates corresponding to my data ex 1/2/2021. I need to add 4 years to this date in another column. Can someone assist me with a formula?

Thank you

Hi @Super ,

Try:

=DATE(YEAR([pio date]@row)+4, MONTH([pio date]@row),DAY([pio date]@row))

The formula deconstructs your PIO date, into a DATE function and adds 4 years to the year.

Work?

Mark, thanks for your comment. That does work if your entire column is configured to be a date. But if you have the column configured as Text/Number so you can enter in dates and numbers, all date functions return "#INVALID DATA TYPE".

Basically, I want a date at the top of the column and then all my data is listed is cells below it.

Any ideas?

Hi Joel,

Try:

=YEAR([pio date]@row)+4) + "/"+MONTH([pio date]@row)+"/"+ DAY([pio date]@row)

Change the order if you want a different date format.
