How do I add an extra day to a calendar every four years

I am creating an appointment book and want to accomodate the extra day every
leap year. If D3=2006 than D35=1 March but if D3=2008 it must be 29 Feb. I
need two formulars in one cell to accmodate the variation in D3. Can anybody
help?

No need for 2 formulas

=DATE(D3,2,29)

custom format as d mmm

In cell D35, enter the formula:
=DATE(D3,1,1)+59
and format it as dd mmm

You probably derive each date from a previous one by adding 1.
No need to take care of the number of days in a month yourself; Excel will
do that and handle leap years correctly.
IOW if A1 is Feb 28 2006, adding 1 will result in March 1 2006, if A1 is Feb
28 2008, adding 1 will give Feb 29 2008.
