Default Adding days to a date cell to get a new date

That was the 1st thing I tried... to simply add 5 to the cell. I get
#VALUE! in A2. A2 is set to =A1 + 5

A1 and A2 are set to DATE format using 03/14/01 format. I'd paste a pic
of it, but can't seem to paste into the body of this append.

If you click on A2, hit the '=' key, click on cell A1, then type
'+5'...what
happens?

Hi, this may sound simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.

In cell A1 (a date cell) I'll enter a date.

I want to set A2 (also a date cell) to A1 + 5 days.

I've played with datevalue and some other Fn's but just can't seem to get
it.

Anyone have the magic answer? What am I missing?
