Hello,

I need to create a forumla that will automatically calculate the next due
date based on a loan start and finish, first due, payment amount due, dates
paid and amounts paid. I know there is a way to do it, but I am completely
at a loss. Any help would be appricated. Please respond to
as well.

The EDATE function will allow you to add a specific number of months to a
starting date. Maybe that's what you have in mind. It's a function in the
Analysis Tool Pack add-in. Help tells you how to install it.

Otherwise, to add, say, 3 months to the date in A1, the formula is

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+3,DAY(A1))

Isn't the due date independent of the payment amounts? Isn't it strictly a
function of the payment period. For example, a monthly loan with a last
payment date of Dec 15th will have a next payment date of Jan 15th.

If the last payment date is in A1, you can calculate due date as
=date(year(a1),month(a1)+1,day(a1))

Regarding duplicate responses by e-mail, most posters don't do this because:
1. They don't want to risk more spam by disclosing their e-mail address;
2. Responses back to the newsgroup are available for all to see, rather than
just one person;
2. They assume people who ask for free advice are willing to do a little bit
of work to get it.
