Default adding a month

what's the simplest formula to add exactly a month to the next cell of a
series? In other words, enter a beginning date, and then have the formula
next to it take that date and add one month. Thanks.

Maybe:-

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,DAY(A1))

Hi Boris

If the day of the month in the starting cell is always going to be less
than29, then
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,DAY(A1))

If it is always going to be the last day of the month, then use
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+2,0)

To add 1 month, but cater for that month having less days and not
over-spilling,

=MIN(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+{2,1},DAY(A1)*{0,1}))

Another method is to use the 'EOMONTH(A1,1)' option?

The answer to your question is "No". I think you need to look at Excel help
to remind yourself what EOMONTH does. It doesn't do what the OP asked for.
