=A1+B1 is a bit simpler, SUM seems unnecessary.

If you want to avoid weekends, use

=WORKDAY(A1,B1)

Need a formula to display the calculated date from the Start Date &
number
of
days.
ie: StartDate + Number of Days = Final Date.

Start Date:
2-1-05.

Number of Days
+ 90

= what date? Using the DATE function keeps failing.

thank you.
