Days are stored as serial numbers, with 1 = 1 Jan 1900 (or 2 Jan 1904 depending
on date system being used)

So to change the date by 84 days, merely add or subtract 84 from your date:

e.g. Date in A1

=A1+84

Format as date.

With the previous date in A1:

=A1-84

Of course Ron is right: it is PLUS 84
