Default How do I create a certain type of Excel formula?

I need to create a formula for excel and I don't know how. Basically what I
need the formula to do is I plug in a date and I need the formula to show me
what day is the deadline for a task. Example: I have personnel that have to
have a certification by the 75th day of work and I want to be able to plug in
their start date and I want the formula to show me what date the 75th day
would be. Thanks for any and all help!

Say start day is in A1, duration (75 days) is in B1, then enter in C1 =A1+B1
and format it as date!

OK I'm not tracking. Can you walk me through it a little more please. I
have very little experience with making formulas in Excel.

Yes, but Danny forgot to specify wether he meant calendar days or workdays!
