Help with Calculating Dates

[scwilson]

I am creating a training matrix where I have the date of training an
then I have a drop down box for re-cert identifying when the trainin
expires (i.e. 1 year, 2 year, 5 year). I am hoping to find a way t
automatically populate the re-certification date based on the date o
the training and the drop down selection chosen,

i.e.
Date of training : December 6, 2012

Selection: 2 years

Can I have it automatically calculate that re-certification is Decembe
6, 2015 without having to change the formula each time?

Many thanks!!!!

I'm not sure how you get 2015 if the date of training is 2012 and you add 2 years.
Assuming that is a typo:

Date of training: A1
Selection: B1

Recertification: =edate(A1,b1*12)
