    Adding a number of months to a start date to obtain an 'end date'

    Hello all,

    I am wanting to add a number of months (e.g. 21) to a start date (e.g. 08/12/2011) to obtain an end date in the format of (dd/mm/yyyy). I tried using the function 'EDATE', but it did not appear capable of returning what I am after.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I am sure it is simple.

    Thank you in advance.

    What do you like to return when adding 21 months to 8/12/2011?

    End/Start of the month after +21 months?
