Ok, I used =ARRAYFORMULA(A2:A+Time(0,29,0)) in B2 and it works pretty well. Anytime a time or date and time is added to column A, I automatically get the correct result in column B. Now the problem I have is that column B is filled with results based off of 0 even if nothing is in column A. I need Column B to stay empty unless Column A has a date or date and time.

ETA: I asked for Excel help, but I'm realizing Google Spreadsheets is a little different from both Open Office and Excel.

=IF(A3="","",A3+TIME(0,29,0))

works in excel for me. You have to drag it down indefinitely through how far you expect the table to extend.

This is why I suggested the "if" statement. Just plug in if and the value if 0=" ""
