How Do I Get Text Info (cell M) to add to date info (Cell R) and create the new date (Cell S) in Excel
I want to calculate a new date based on information from two other cells, one of which is text.
The text indicates how often repeat visits should take place (there are only 4 options: 'Every 4 weeks', 'Every 8 weeks', 'Every 12 weeks', 'Once a year')
I want this information to then be added so column R (last visit date) to create Column S (next visit date)
I have tried IF formulas and IFS formulas but I just can't get it to work - I have tried to convert the text into days (for example, 'Every 4 weeks' = 28 days).

A nested IF will work.
=IF(Q2="Every 4 Weeks",R2+28, IF(Q2="Every 8 Weeks",R2+56,IF(Q2="Every 12 Weeks",R2+84,IF(Q2="Once a year",R2+365,"Invalid Repeat Interval"))))
So basically:
- if the repeat matches "Every 4 Weeks" then add 28 to the last visit date;
- ELSE if the repeat matches "Every 8 weeks" then add 56 days to the last visit date;
- ELSE if the repeat matches "Every 12 weeks" then add 84 days to the last visit date;
- ELSE if the repeat matches "Once a year" then add 365 days to the last visit date;
- If nothing matches print "Invalid Repeat Interval" in the cell.
