Setting Date Column based on another date Column

I have one date, call it A, that moves through multiple boards and is linked to a calendar, so when it’s moved on the calendar, the date changes on the boards and vice versa. I would like another date on the same boards, B, that is the A date plus a certain amount of working days depending on a dropdown box.

For example when a new item is created, A is set to 5th June 24, the dropdown is 5 Working Days. This then automatically sets B to the 12th June 24. if then on the calendar I move the item to the 9th July 24, then B should auto move to the 16th July.

Any help would be greatly appreciate, Thanks

Hi Michael,

Did you try a formula column? Create a formula column and use this syntax:

FORMAT_DATE(ADD_DAYS({A},{Dropdown}),"YYYY-MM-DD")

What if we could break free of the Formula column? and write formulas that update any type of columns? What if a formula could update multiple columns at once? This is possible with the Advanced Formula Booster app.

Hi, You can use formulas or automations to calculate the date for column B based on the date in column A and the selected number of working days from the dropdown box.
