Hi David,

this works fine. the only problem I have is that the cell B1 displays
30/12/00 until I enter a date in A1,then B1 displays as per the formula,and
as expected

How can I alter your formula so that B1 appears blank until I enter a date
in A1 - as I have hundreds of renewal dates in my worksheet?

Hello,
I am using Excel 2007

My problem is this, I am entering dates with a renewal date of a year in
advance minus 1 day :

A1 * * * * * * * * *B1
30/01/08 * * * 29/01/09
20/03/08 * * * 19/08/09
01/01/08 * * * 31/12/08
01/02/09 * * * 31/01/10
and so on .....

Presently I am using Vlookup() *to put the information into B1,B2,B3,etc
automatically,however the date data is getting increasing long.

Is there a formulua that I can enter in B1,B2,etc *that will achieve this
without resorting to Vlookup()

All offers of help greatly accepted, and my thanks to all respondents
