Hello everyone,

I’m a novice at Excel and just recently found out how much easier it is to organize data and have Excel do all the “heavy lifting” for me at work.

What I pretty much want to do is have Excel generate a date after it references two different columns. For example, in one column I have dates, and in the second column I have text.

Column 1 has dates. Column 2 has text. So if I type in a specific text in the second column, I want it to generate the date 45 days from the first column in a third column. A different text would generate 45 days in the third column & 60 days in the fourth column.

Example 1: First column = 1 April 2019 Second column = ABC Third column = 16 May 2019 (automatically generates 45 days from Column 1 by Excel)

Example 2: First column = 1 April 2019 Second column = DEF Third Column = 16 May 2019 (automatically generates 45 days from Column 1 by Excel) Fourth column = 31 May 2019 (also automatically generates 60 days from Column 1 by Excel)

Thank you!
