    Adding a date to calender to automatially generate another date?

    How do you add a date into an Excel calender and have it automatically
    generate a later date in the calender year automatically.

    Hi Crystal

    Excel stores its date values internally as a numeric value.
    Hence, to generate a future date from any given date, you can in the
    simplest instance just add a number of days.
    With cell A1 containing 01 Jan 2006
    B1 =A1+1 will give 02 Jan 2006, =A1+10 will give 11 Jan 2006

    =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1) will give the result 01 Feb 2006
    =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+2,1) will give 01 Mar 2006

    Note the general format of =DATE(year,month,day)
    =DATE(2006,4,1) will give 01 Apr 2006
    Using 0 as the day value, will give th last day of the previous month so
    =DATE(2006,4,0) will give 31 Mar 2006

    I hope this information will get you dtarted.
