How to set a column to automatically add a date based on an admission date then number of weeks.

To achieve your desired functionality in Excel for the web, you can use a combination of formulas and data validation.

Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Set up your columns:
• Column A: Admission Date
• Column B: Number of Weeks
• Column C: Departure Date (auto-calculated)
2. Enter your formula for the Departure Date:
• In cell C2, enter the formula =IF(AND(A2<>"",B2<>""), A2+(B2*7), ""). This formula checks if both the Admission Date and Number of Weeks are entered. If they are, it calculates the Departure Date; otherwise, it leaves the cell blank.
3. Set up data validation for the Number of Weeks column:
• Select the cells in column B where you will enter the number of weeks (e.g., B2:B100).
• Go to the Data tab on the ribbon.
• Click on Data Validation.
• Choose Whole Number in the Allow dropdown.
• In the Data box, select Between and enter 1 and the maximum number of weeks allowed.
• Click OK to apply the data validation.

With this setup, users can enter the Admission Date and Number of Weeks, and the Departure Date will automatically calculate when they either move to another cell or press Enter. Data validation ensures that only whole numbers are entered for the Number of Weeks.

This approach should work in Excel for the web, allowing for automatic calculation of the Departure Date based on the Admission Date and Number of Weeks.Formularbeginn The text and steps was created with the help of AI.
