The alternative, =DATE(YEAR($D$2),MONTH($D$2)+1+C9,0), doesn't retain the day
of the start date. The final argument to the date function is the day; A
day of 0 will result in the last day of the prior month, which is why you'd
have to add 1+C9 months. So if you just need any date in the month that's
six months ahead, this would work fine. If you want the date six months
ahead, the other is more exact.

Thank you Bob and bpeltzer. I searched some more and found the following and
was wondering if there are any fundamental differences? Just curiousity on
my part because what you have posted works great.

=DATE(YEAR($D$2),MONTH($D$2)+1+C9,0)

You need to change not just the 6, but the pair {7,6}. For n months ahead,
the array should be {n+1,n}, so {14,13} to advance 13 months.

I found this formula in one of the posts (Credit to Barry Houdini) and I was
wondering how I might edit it.

Right now it calculates the date 6 months from today without passing into
the next month. I need to edit this formula in order to add 10, 11, and 13
months to the date given in another cell. I tried changing the 6 to 13 but
that didn't work.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
