You could try this:

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+6,DAY(A1))

is it possible to add 6 months to a given date?
i.e. if in cell A1 the date is 04/05/03, then cell B1 should return the date
plus 6 months ie 04/12/03. the only way ive been able to get something near
is by adding 182.5 which is half a year in days but this obviously doesnt
account for the different months having varying amounts of days.

Any Ideas?
