using date function, month shows as January when i type (12)
when date of birth is A1 and i use the formula
=date(year(A1)+19,month(12),day(31)), to get the last day of the year before the 20th birthday, 31/1/1919 appears instead of 31/12/1919. why is this? if i take the +19 away, the same thing happens. The only time it works is if i specify the year instead of using another cell. |
Does this formula do what you need?
="12/31/"&YEAR(A1)+19 |
The reason your original formula did not work is because the MONTH()
and DAY() functions require serial date numbers (that is to say, an Excel date equivalent expressed as a number). |
=DATE(YEAR(A1)+19,12,31)
