What's the most efficient way to create a column that just says the month two months from now? So right now it would read "February"

    Here's how to create a column with the month name you need:1. Click "Add Column" > "Add Column using AI" 2. Once in the date formatter: ā€¢ Input your date (you can use a formula to get current date + 2 months) ā€¢ Select your desired format for displaying the month name ā€¢ Optionally, you can specify: ā€¢ Timezone settings ā€¢ Locale (if you want the month name in a different language)The formatter will automatically update the date/time values for new rows in your table.

    You can use this javascript formula: moment().add(2, 'months').format('YYYY-MM-DD') - which will allow you to add a set amount of month to your current date, you can edit the number to increase or decrease the number of months you want to offset the column from today's date.
