To add a given number of years to a date, you can use the EDATE function.

Dates in Excel are just serial numbers. The number 1 represents January 1, 1900, the number 1000 is September 26, 1902, and so on.

When you have a valid date in Excel, you and just add days directly. Day values can be positive or negative.

=A1+100
