conditional formatting

Lorraine

this is probably a basic question, but here goes...
I have a worksheet where staff will be slowly filling in dates into one
column and I want Excel to automatically add into another column the date
that occurs 13 days after the original date. I want the cells in the second
column to remain empty until a date is entered by staff into the first column
- how do I do that?
EXAMPLE:
say my staff on Monday enter that day's date (4-27-09) into the first cell
in row 2 (row 2/column A) and I want Excel to automatically enter the date
that will occur 14 days later (5-11-09) into the 4th cell in that same row
(row 2/column D). The problem I am having is in keeping the automatically
filled in cell in the next row (row 3/column D) empty until staff type in a
date into the first cell in that row (row 3/column A).
Help!
