problems adding days to a date
Carys 12.07.2006 20:18:02
Hi,

I have a field that sums a date plus 14 days and I am getting some very
strange results.

Any clue?

What have you got and what strange results are you getting

If there is a 'true' date in A1 (01/01/2006) then

=A1+14

will give you 15/01/2006 (UK dd/mm/yyyy)

Strange, like a number somewhere around 39000? If so, you just need to
format the result cell. Either use Format on the menu bar, or copy the
original date cell's format using the format painter.
