    Find a date in a past starting from a future and period of time in years.

    Hi guys,

    I have been trying to find a start date in the past starting from a future date and a value in years.

    The values in year are calculated using the natural logarithm. So the values are not natural numbers.

    These are calculations for compound interest. So my goal is find the start date of the investment.

    A1 : Period in years
    0.999998490334239000000000000000
    1.000020042665320000000000000000
    1.246123405987020000000000000000
    0.170138332745076000000000000000
    5.000036554768430000000000000000

    B1 : Future Date
    17-Jun-2020
    2-Jan-2021
    31-Mar-2020
    23-Apr-2020
    6-Aug-2020

    C1: The expected Correct date:
    17-Jun-2019
    2-Jan-2020
    2-Jan-2019
    21-Feb-2020
    6-Aug-2015



    ***THANK YOU SO MUCH***

    How confident are you in those expected correct dates?

    If I understand correctly this is what I come up with. They don't all agree.

    Thank you Dave. I can check that correct start dates in the system. The problem is that it takes many steps. That's why I have been trying to find a way to get it all at ones through calculations.

    Re: Find a date in a past starting from a future and period of time in years.

    After multiplying the period A by -1 to give a negative value, I tried using
    DATE(YEAR(B1)+A1,MONTH(B2),DAY(B2))
    But it doen't always give correct results.

    Thank you
