Question

I have a list I’ve built in Sharepoint, where one of the fields is a date that the user enters. I want to add another field, which is a calculated value field that needs to be the date provided by the user + 30 days. What formula do I need to pass to the calculated value field to achieve that?

Answer 1

Try this:

1. Create a new Calculated column
2. In the Forumla box, enter something like this: =TEXT([existing date column]+30,’yyyy-mm-dd’) You can use any date format string you like instead of ‘yyyy-mm-dd’
3. Make the data type ‘Date and Time’
4. Make the date and time format ‘Date Only’
