User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.

User: how to add 3 years to a date on the column to its right google sheets
Assistant: In Google Sheets, you can add 3 years to a date by using the `EDATE` function. Here's how you can do it:

1. Let's say your original date is in cell A1.
2. In the cell to the right (for example, B1), you would enter the following formula:

   ```
   =EDATE(A1, 36)
   ```

The `EDATE` function takes two arguments: the starting date and the number of months to add. Since you want to add 3 years, you multiply 3 by 12 (which equals 36 months).

After entering the formula, cell B1 will display the date that is 3 years later than the date in cell A1.
User: can i make it without specifiying numbers to make it work on all column
Assistant: Yes, you can create a formula that will automatically adjust to work for an entire column in Google Sheets without specifying numbers directly in the formula. To do this, you can use a combination of the `ARRAYFORMULA` and `EDATE` functions. Here’s how you can set it up:

1. Assume your original dates are in column A, starting from A1.
2. In cell B1 (the cell to the right), enter the following formula:

   ```
   =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A:A<>"", EDATE(A:A, 36), ""))
   ```

This formula does the following:
- `ARRAYFORMULA` allows you to apply a formula to an entire range of cells.
- `IF(A:A<>"", ...)` checks if there is a date in column A; if so, it applies the `EDATE` function to add 3 years (36 months).
- The last parameter `""` ensures that if there is no date in column A, the corresponding cell in column B remains empty.

With this setup, the formula in column B will automatically calculate the date that is 3 years later for all non-empty cells in column A.
User: tells me this error #REF!
Assistant: The `#REF!` error in Google Sheets typically indicates that there's an invalid reference in your formula, which can happen when using `ARRAYFORMULA` with an entire column reference like `A:A`. 

To avoid this issue, you can specify a more limited range. Instead of using the entire column, use a defined range that you expect to contain data. For example, if your dates are in cells A1 to A100, you can modify your formula as follows:

1. In cell B1, use this formula:

   ```
   =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A1:A100<>"", EDATE(A1:A100, 36), ""))
   ```

This should resolve the `#REF!` error and work correctly for the specified range. If your data extends beyond row 100, adjust the range accordingly (e.g., `A1:A1000`). 

Try this adjusted formula, and it should calculate the new date for every non-empty cell in the specified range without errors.
User: not working
Assistant: If you're still encountering issues, let's troubleshoot the formula step by step. Please ensure the following:

1. **Check Data Format**: Ensure that the cells in column A contain valid date formats. Sometimes, if a cell is not recognized as a date, the formula will not work as expected.

2. **Use the Correct Range**: Make sure to specify a range that actually includes data. For testing, let's reduce the range to a smaller set to see if it works. 

   Try this formula in cell B1:
   ```plaintext
   =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A1:A10<>"", EDATE(A1:A10, 36), ""))
   ```

3. **Formula Entry**: Make sure you’re entering the formula in cell B1 without any leading or trailing spaces.

4. **Check for Errors in Column A**: If there are any errors in the referenced cells in column A (like `#VALUE!`, `#N/A`, etc.), it can cause the whole array formula to not function properly.

If the above adjustments still do not resolve the issue, could you provide any error messages or clarify what specifically is happening when you try the formula? This will help in diagnosing the problem effectively.
User: the output is not a date just a digits number
