    As variant that could be

    with

    ="Next review during " & TEXT( EOMONTH(B5,36), "mmm yyyy")

    which returns text which indicated during which month next review shall be done. If you need date, not text, EOMONTH(E5, 36) returns end of month in 3 years from release date. If you need exactly 3 years from release date it is =EDATE(B5,36).

    Your question is not clear enough. Use EDATE() instead of EOMONTH().

    =EDATE(B2,36)

    Can you please clarify about 36 or 48 months?
