Having a hard time finding this question already answered somewhere, so here it is.

I am trying to create a calculated column that returns the following result.

  • If "column 1" equals "OPEN", then enter "column 2" + 3

  • If "column 1" equals "PENDING", then return "Blank"

Column 1 is a dropdown list. Column 2 is a date.

I need the calculated column to return the date in column 2 adding three days, only if column 1 states "OPEN."

If column 1 states anything else, I need column 2 to be blank.

Any assistance is much appreciated

The calculated column "column 3" cannot change the value of "column 2".

You can display "column 3" and hide "column 2" in list view and DisForm.aspx, and display "column 2" in NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx (the calculated column will not display in NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx ).

Using the following formula in "column 3":

=IF([column 1]="OPEN", [column 2]+3, "")

Testing result of calculated formula:
