EDate() function is good for adding months/years to a given date, it would not support addition of days to a given date. For example, it would not yield correct result if I wish to determine the days 45 days after today. The Date() function suggested by Chetan comes in handy in such situations:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),DAY(A1)+45) Also, the Date() function returns a date value, so you don't need a format conversion.
