    Hi @Tammy Luther

    This formula should do what you need

    =IF([Risk Category]@row = "Low", [Date of Audit]@row + 7, IF([Risk Category]@row = "Medium", [Date of Audit]@row + 3, IF([Risk Category]@row = "High", [Date of Audit]@row + 1, IF([Risk Category]@row = "Advisor", [Date of Audit]@row + 10, [Date of Audit]@row))))

    Tested and working as below.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks

    Paul

    Sorry for the delay - had been traveling.

    I used the formula and it comes in a little weird.

    date of audit was 9/14 and the category was "low" and came back as below.

    I seems to add the 1, 3, 7, 10 to the end of the date. Not sure what I'm missing.
