I actually have an updated version of that formula, which I think takes care of a couple of odd issues when adding months to a date that results in the end of February. Probably doesn’t matter for your use case of adding a full year, but if you ever use it for adding months, then I would recommend the new version instead.

The same place that Darren got that original formula had a second formula. It looks like that old thread is unlisted now, so I won’t link to it, but the second formula dealt with adding years, and also accounted for leap year, so if you added 1 year to Feb 29th, then the next year if would calculated to Feb 28th instead of March 1st. Essentially it would figure out if the month of the future calculate… You could also consider using the EDATE Excel formula in the Excel Formula plugin. Not sure how well it works, but something to try. I think you would use a formula like this. `=EDATE(A1,12)` --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/can-we-add-add-a-entire-year-into-a-trigger-action/44401)._
