Default How do I "not" enter slashes for dates and add "x" number of days to date entered?

Hi,

Using 00\/00\/0000 is working as expected and doing what I need but when
I use =DATE(MOD(A2, 10000), TRUNC(A2 / 1000000), MOD(TRUNC(A2 / 10000),
100)) I am getting the following error message. "There is a problem with
a number used in the formula." If I am able to get the second part to
work would I then use a formula something like = B1+10 to add 10 days to
date entered?


delete the spaces into the formula:
=DATE(MOD(A2,10000), TRUNC(A2/1000000), MOD(TRUNC(A2/10000),100))
