Hi,
Struggling with DATEADD formula, trying to get an hours bank result from:
Date of purchase and days left to use.
for some reason, I keep getting the first date I entered- The date of purchase.
Appreciate the advice.

Hi @Osnat_Melnikov

Welcome to Airtable Community!

Please paste the formula you are using here with a screenshot of both fields so we can help you.

To be clear, if you are trying to get the difference between 2 fields you can use the DATETIME_DIFF

Welcome to the Airtable community!

Your field for {days of use} is a lookup field. (Sorry, but I cannot read your field name in its original language.) Convert that field to a rollup field instead. Use a rollup formula like SUM(values).
