Yes, you can definitely round a date to the 1st of the next month in Microsoft Excel. Here are the steps to do so:
- Enter the date in a cell in the format "mm/dd/yyyy".
- In the cell where you want to display the eligibility date, enter the following formula:
Code:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+2,1)
- Replace "A1" with the cell reference of the date you entered in step 1.
- Press enter and the eligibility date will be displayed as the 1st of the month, two months after the date you entered.
For example, if you entered the date "05/15/2021" in cell A1, the formula would be
Code:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+2,1)
and the eligibility date would be displayed as "07/01/2021".
