=A2+45
or, if you want the second cell to stay empty until the first one is filled,
=IF(A2="","",A2+45)

Since the OP wanted to enter a date it is probably better to use TODAY() as
opposed to NOW()

But as the OP wanted to "enter a date in a cell", I would have thought that
neither NOW() nor TODAY() was relevant.

I suppose it depends whether we are answering the question in the body of
the message, or the different question in the subject line. Questioners
please note. :-)
