Issue
I need a formula that will help me to add days to a date and it gives me the result in the date
format For example
03/01/2010 + 25 = 28/01/2010
Thank you in advance.

Solution
Obviously, your regional option is entering dates as dd/mm/yyyy. In my region it is mm/dd/yy
Whatever it is, your formula is correct: the first date 03/01/2010 in A1 in B1 type A1+25 and format
B1 as date.
