Hi All,

Is it possible to enter a number in a field and then the output ill be a date in the future?

eg. say i enter in 30 then the output will be today() + 30, so 04/03/2021

Hi Marc,
please find the solution

for this, you have to make another field as
formula field of date type and formula would be TODAY()+ number_field__c (output will be in MM:DD: YY)
where number_field__c contains the number you entered if this field remains empty the output would be the current date.

If you find this solution is helpful for you please mark this as the best answer.
