Default How do I Calculate a future or past date in Excel?

My question is simple:
How can I calculate a future or past date in Excel? I tried "EDATE" but
didn't work.
Thanks.

With a date in Cell A1, you can put =A1+7 to get one week later, or =A1-7 to
get one week earlier. Add any number, and it adds that many days to your
date.

For Edate formula to work you need to install (or activate) the "analysis
toolpak" add-in.
The system will tell you whether you need the office suite cd. Depends which
options you used when you first
installed excel.
