    Adding months to dates

    Hi All

    How do I add months to dates without working out the number of days in each month?

    I know for example =A1+7 would add a week, =A1+28 would add 4 weeks. But I want to add months, regardless of how long each is.
    Any Ideas?

    Thanks for any help.

    Roy

    =CHOOSE((MONTH(A1)=12)*1+1,DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,DAY(A1)),DATE(YEAR(A1)+1,1,DAY(A1)))


    Edit - i thought you just wanted to add one month sorry I didn't realize excel could handle months greater than 12 either
