Trailhead Date formula exercise
I'm receiving an formula error >Error: Formula result is data type (Date), incompatible with expected data type (Number).
Shouldn't it be a Date formula field? Thanks

The error thrown by salesforce is completely correct because your formula results in a Date data type and you have selected its return type as Number. So it is incompatible.
Please change your forumla return type to Date and everything will be fine.
Let me knwow if you need more information or any help on this.
Thanks,
