I have the following Fields on a form {Date}, {Storage}, and {Expiry Date}.
I want the {Expire Date} to be calculated by adding the number entered into the {Storage} field to the {Date} field.
Example {Expiry Date} = ({Date} + {Storage}) I am having trouble with the syntax of the formula.
The {Storage} field is a number field that is different for each record ie. 10, 14, 20,
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Lynn,
Your Expiry Date field must be a Calculation field for this to work that returns a Date value.
Now just use the DATEADD(Date;Y;M;W;D;H;M;S) function like this:
DATEADD([Date];0;0;0;[Storage];0;0;0)
Set the Return Type to Date.
That’ll return a Date that has [Storage] days added to it. But you didn’t state the units for your Storage field, so I just assumed days.
If you notice, [Storage] is inserted into the same spot where D would be in the above set of parameters for the DATEADD() function. If Storage represents a different unit, just put it in the appropriate place in the parameters.
This only works with the most recent versions of Tap Forms. So update if you haven’t so you can get the DATEADD() function.
Hope that helps!

By the way, the parameters of DATEADD(Date;Y;M;W;D;H;M;S) are:
Date field; Year; Month; Week; Day; Hours; Minutes; Seconds
in case it wasn’t obvious
.
