IT is hard to say which is better as we haven't been told what you are
trying to do, but I like Barry's solution as it is a neat way to forward you
six months, going back to the last day in the month if that resultant month
has fewer days than that month, so winding 31st March forward 6 months
returns 20th September.

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.
