    help with due dates!

    What is the formula to calculate a due date from a date in another cell?
    If the date is 06-12-06 and the due date is the end of the month six months later, 12-31-06, how do I do this?

    thanks

    Mostly fixed......
    If the date is from the 1st to the 14th the formula gives me a due date of 5 months, if the date is 15th to 31st then I get a due date of 6 months. Somewhere the formula is rounding down instead of always rounding up.......

    Thanks again.

    You should only need

    =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+7,0)

    Hello,
    Mr. (Carim)..
    this is my first time to the forums.
    I would really appreciate if you can make it in an Excel sheet and send it or post it..
    I tried to do it as per your instructions, but it did not work for me...
    my Excel is 2010 version.
    THANKS
