Thank you, Max. Works brilliantly.

Many thanks for your patience and help and apologies for the sudden change
of requirements half way through.

Column D contains the dates, as before.
Cell A1 only is to show the next date after today's date.

Try in A1, array-enter the formula by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter:
=MIN(IF(D$2:D$100TODAY(),D$2:D$100))
Format A1 as date. Adjust the range to suit.

Sorry Max, having just been advised the structure of the spreadsheet has
changed and in turn also the date basis of my earlier request, starting again:

Column D contains the dates, as before. Cell A1 only is to show the next
date after today's date.

Sorry for the change and hope you are able to help.
