    Add one month to the previous cell

    I enter 01/2011 and would like to add one month in the cell below. What would my formula on that below cell be?

    Re: Add one month to the previous cell

    Hi,

    would be:

    =Date(year(above cell),month(above cell)+1,day(above cell))

    assuming input in A1;

    =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,DAY(A1)), and drag the function down...

    Hope it helps,

    -ben

    Enter a valid date in A1 and =EDATE(A1,1) in A2

    Try the following in A2 after entering the date in A1:

    =EOMONTH(A1,1)

    This will not add one month. It will show the last day of the month.

    It will give you the last day of the next month. Just change the format on your spreadsheet from Custom to Date and you will see it.

    If in A1 you have 1/1/2011 then in A2 with your formula you will see 2/29/2012
