I should have been more specific:
field('#completiondate') is an integer (calculated from word count/average words read per day), not a date (poor naming on my part)

date_arithmetic asks for an integer followed by a specification, like '1d' for add one day. I'm looking for a way to make that integer be pulled from a separate column, which is populated with an integer, and add that to today's date.

For example, the field('#completiondate') predicts that I could finish the novel in 5 days. This column would ideally add five days to today's date, and display it as the predicted finish date.

This is more something I've been tinkering around with just to see if it could be done than something I need for any reason, but I'm invested in seeing if there is a solution now that I can use as a springboard for some other ideas for columns I have.
