I'm simply trying to add 2 days to a date (ex: 1/1/22) to get a date 2 days from now (ex: 1/3/22).

Stephen Bone

When I use the simple formula =Start6 + 2 it's concatenating and I'm getting 1/1/222 instead of the expected 1/3/22. All dates are in a date column (Start) and there are no dependencies in the sheet.

What's going on here? I've used this function many times before and this has never happened!?

Hi @Stephen Bone

I hope you're well and safe!

Strange!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
