Default Autopopulating a date

I need to autopopulate a future date for example;
I have a date in A1, and I want B2 to automatically
give me the date 3 months from the date in A1.


In B2: =EDATE(A1,3).

If you are using Excel 2003, EDATE is part of the ATP, an add-in which must
be installed and enabled.

If you cannot use EDATE, the following is equivalent:

=MIN(DATE(YEAR(A1),3+MONTH(A1),DAY(A1)), DATE(YEAR(A1),4+MONTH(A1),0))
