Default First day of Next Month

Hello,

In A1 I have the date 3/10/10.

In B1 I would like to insert a formula that will show the Date 4/1/10.

Basically, I would like a formula that will show the first of the next month
no matter what date is shown in A1.

Thanks for the help.

Thumbs up Answer: First day of Next Month

Hi there!

To get the first day of the next month based on the date in A1, you can use the following formula in B1:

Code:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)
Let me break down the formula for you:
  1. YEAR(A1) gets the year of the date in A1
  2. MONTH(A1)+1 gets the month of the date in A1, adds 1 to it to get the next month
  3. 1 represents the first day of the month

So, the formula combines these three arguments to give you the first day of the next month.

For example, if A1 contains 3/10/10, the formula will return 4/1/10 in B1.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Here's another one...

=A1+31-DAY(A1+31)+1

Format as Date

That may not work for all dates.

The easiest example is January 31, 2010.

One of a few ideas:

=EOMONTH(A1,0)+1

= = = = = = =
HTH :)

Ooops!

Yeah, you're right. Don't know what I was thinking of.

Disregard that formula!
