=IF(B3="",09-01-2014,)*DATE(YEAR(B3)+G3,MONTH(B3),DAY(B3))

This is my failed furmula. I am trying to write a formula that will take the date in B3 and add 5 years. However if no date is entered in B3 i would like it to display 09-01-2014. Everything after the asteric is functioning. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Well, this is a real klugy way, but it works:
=IF(B3="","9/1/2014",B3+1825)

5X365=1825

Just formate the cell this formula is in into a date.

I know it is ugly!

What an ugliness haha, I can't stand it haha.

A year always has 12 months but not always 365 days so replace the ugly part "B3+1825" by EDATE(B3,60)

Pretty :)
