Formula to add days, adds years instead

Aloysius.Kling

Trying to add days to a date from another column on the same sheet, but it adds digits to the years format instead.

Date Source = 08/12/22.

Cell Formula =Date@row + 20

Expected Answer = 09/09/22.

Actual Answer = 08/22/2220.

Please assist and advise.

Thanks.

Hi @Aloysius.Kling

I hope you're well and safe!

Are you using the Dependencies feature? Also, ensure that both are set to Date Column type.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thanks @AndreeP

That was it. My column wasn't set to date type.
