用于将DATE作为TEXT计算的公式

Question

I have searched online and in forums but can´t find any solution for this.

I want to calculate date as TEXT in Sharepoint list with calculated fields.

It works to calculate well with the formula below, but it prints the date like this "2018-07-06T22:00:00Z"

=IF(ISBLANK([Contract Start]);"";DATE(YEAR([Contract Start]);MONTH([Contract Start])+[ContractLength];DAY([Contract Start])))

I have tried the following formula, and it gives me the date in the format i wish "2018-07-06" but i can´t get it to add months from column [ContractLength] to the date.

=IF(ISBLANK([ContractStarts]);””;CONCATENATE(TEXT([ContractStarts];"yyyy");"-";TEXT([ContractStarts];"MM");"-";TEXT([ContractStarts];"dd")))

So I need help with a formula that adds the specified number of months from the [ContractLength] column to the start date [ContractStarts] column in the SharePoint list, and print it as TEXT so we get the date printed "2018-07-06".

Thanks in advance!

I'm not quite sure what you mean with "calculate date as text". If you mean you want to show the result as text, not a date, then you can use this formula.

=IF(ISBLANK(ContractStarts);"";TEXT(DATE(YEAR(ContractStarts);MONTH(ContractStarts)+ContractLength;DAY(ContractStarts));"yyyy-mm-dd"))

Or, if you want the result to be a date, then this formula works fine, too, but you need to select "Date" as the data type of the calculated column and tick the button for Date only.

=IF(ISBLANK(ContractStarts);"",DATE(YEAR(ContractStarts);MONTH(ContractStarts)+ContractLength;DAY(ContractStarts))) 

The screenshot below shows both formulas at work in the SharePoint list.
