Calculate date

[Alexxu]

Hello all.
In my workbook i want to calculate a date with certain periods.
My table look like this:

A                    B                                                             C
Current Date    Period between tests                                         Next Period
11.03.2009      (here i have to choose 1;3;6 or 12 months)                          =(A1+B1)
                                                                                  e.g 11.04.2009
                                                                                or 11.07.2009,etc

My problem is:
1. I don't know how to write the formula from column C;
2. In the column C i wanted in the function to do the calculation, but i wanted to calculate that date minus 10 days.
e.g. instead of 11.07.2009 => 01.07.2009.
Could you help me?Please.
Many thanks!

Does this give the expected result?

or alternarively try:

=EDATE(A1,3)-10

Thanks Kelbo and Mr. Vog.
It seems that Mr. Vog's formula is PERFECT.
I have another small question.
Because one test takes place 1/week, if i try with days instead of monts, like:

1 month = 30 days;
3 months = 90 days;
6 months = 180 days;
12 months = 360 days;
1 week = 7 days.

How should i modify your formula?
Thanks!

Try

=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2)+B2-10)
