Date Formula Help

[ecosystemc]

I need help creating a formula.

Basically I need this to do this:

If there is an extension marked yes than the move-out date changes to how many day per the extend plus the move-out date. Ex if there is an extension original move-out date was 1/1/23 and there was 30 day extend the new date would be 1/31/23.

If there is no extension then move-out date is move-out date. Ex: 1/1/23 is move out no extension then 1/1/23 stays the move-out. 

I would think this formula is it but it is not. 

IF({Is there an extension} = "yes", DATEADD({Lease End Date} + {If there is an extension how many days approved}, "days"), IF({Is there an extension} = "no", {Lease End Date}))

Hey @ecosystemc, 

I would recommend to use the following formula where you have to replace the {Number of days} with the field that has the number of days to add. 

if ( {Is there an extension}= "yes",
    DateAdd( {Lease End Date}, {Number of days},"days"),
     {Lease End Date}
)

 For any kind of question please do not hesitate to text back.

Yours sincerely,

Date did not change.

Hey @ecosystemc,

The reason for not working could one of the following or a combination of them: 

- the {Is there an extension} field has "Yes" as option and in formula we added "yes" the text has to match 100%
- the field {number of days} is not a number but a text field, or a lookup field. 
- the field {Lease End Date} is not a date field

Could you check with those please and if it doesn't work please share some screenshots of your setting with the fields we use in the formula.

Yours sincerely,
