Adding Column of Days to a Column of Dates

I am currently trying to add a column of days (labeled 'Aging') to a column of Dates (labeled 'Reportdate'), but my code keeps breaking my table.  My information is coming from an excel sheet.

My current code is as follows: Date(Date#(Reportdate,'YYYY-MM-DD')+ Aging) as NewDate

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

Thank you in advance.

Date#() -> is used to interpret the data.

Example: Date#('17/06/2019', 'DD/MM/YYYY')  means that the first two digits are day, the second two digits are months and last 4 digits are year.

 

Data() -> is used to show the data.

Example: Date(today(), 'YYYY-MM-DD') means that you want to show the data with the format as your parameter.

Both functions together:

 Date(Date#(Reportdate,'YYYY-MM-DD') + Aging, 'YYYY-MM-DD')
