Adding months or years to a date

[jparisi]

I have a field with a purchase date and a field with a lease term in months. How can I make a field that adds the months [for example, the No 36 (3 yrs)] to the purchase date to ive me the lease end date?

Thank you so much in advance

Hi try creating this calculation field:

c_LeaseEndDate=

Date( Month(PurchaseDate) + LeaseTermMonths, Day(PurchaseDate) , Year(PurchaseDate))

Don't forget to set calculation result is Date

worked great!! thanks...but what if i waned to do this? Same as above, except have another field called status. The 2 choises for that field will be 'Purchased' and 'leased'. If 'leased' is selected, then the above calculation will be proformed. If 'purchased' is selected, that field will stay blank. Is that possible? very sorry if im asking too much
