This is so simple, and yet no matter what I try, nothing works. :confused:
I want the due date to be 2 days after the creation date. I’ve tried a hundred variations of:

DATEADD({Created},+2,‘days’)

…to no avail. What am I missing??

DATEADD({First}, 2, ‘days’)

get rid of the plus sign. You only need a - if you’re subtracting time, otherwise its just the number.

Oh, its your quotes. Curly quotes don’t work in Airtable formulas. Type the quotes directly in the formula bar and they’ll be corrected.

Your quotes are still wrong.

DATEADD({First}, 2, 'days')

Your quotes are still wrong.

DATEADD({First}, 2, 'days')

Those are the ones AT uses when I click on Field option, so… :slightly_smiling_face:
And it works!
