I have column of birthdates and need to have a date range showing 2
days before and after the Month and day (in current year) of
birthdate.


For example


Birthdate:
01/31/1968


Result:
01/29/2009 - 02/02/2009


Is this possible?


Any and all help greatly appreciated

I do want the result in a single cell and what you sent works...
However, when I put your formula in the B1 cell
I am getting it to show...
01/29/1968 - 02/02/1968

What I need is the year to be current ...
01/29/2009 - 02/02/2009

Any and all help greatly appreciated
