Hi @rejb 

 

Formula should be

 

DateTimeAdd([ORIGINAL_INCEPTION_DATE],365,"days")

 

You can refer this link for list of formulas

Hope this helps : )

In addition to the resource that @atcodedog05 provided, I would recommend bookmarking this one as well. It has an excellent table at the top that shows the results of the different <format string> options.

You might consider using datetimeadd([yourdatefield],1,"years") instead of 365 days - if you have a leap year mixed in you may not get the result you want - ie 365 days from 2020-01-01 is 2020-12-31 - not 2021-01-01
