    Making date projections..

    Hi guys,

    I need to create a formula that takes an entered date and projects 6 months from that date and also in another cell projects 1 year from the entered date.

    For example if I was to enter the start date of work, I would like a formula to automatically fill a cell with a date of 6 months from that day and another cell for 1 year(12 months) from that date. It is so when we put a date started it automatically gives me the next date for probation and a contract renewal date.

    sample file here...date projections.xlsx

    Thanks..

    hi PWinkz, try in D2:
    =EDATE($C2,6)
    and in E2:
    =EDATE($C2,12)

    Edit: if you don't want anything to show up when C2 is blank:
    =IF($C2="","",EDATE($C2,6))
