This will give you a date that is 100 days past the date in cell A2

=A2+100

If your start date is an Excel date, rather than text, then merely add 100
to that format the result as a date.
If your 5-31-06 is text, try Data/ Text to columns
& choose date, with the DMY option. That will turn it into a date to which
you can add your 100 days.
