I ask for help on a date formula and got answer that does what I wanted
it to.
This is it:

A1: start date
B1: =IF(MONTH(A1+1)=MONTH(A1),A1+1,"")
C1: =IF(MONTH(A1+2)=MONTH(A1),A1+2,"")
and so on.
The only problem is that when cell A1: start date is empty cell B1
shows 1 and cell C1 shows 2.

I would like these Cells to be blank if cell A1 is blank and if there
is a date in cell A1 then fill in the cells B1 and C1.
Thanks for any and all help.

Give this a shot

B1=: =IF(A1="","",IF(MONTH(A1+1)=MONTH(A1),A1+1,""))
C1=: =IF(A1="","",IF(MONTH(A1+2)=MONTH(A1),A1+2,""))

You can click cell A1 and then select DATA/VALIDATION to make sure they
enter a date meeting your criteria and allow it to be blank as well.

Cummings,

=IF(ISBLANK(A2),"",IF(MONTH(A2+1)=MONTH(A2),A2+1," "))
=IF(ISBLANK(A2),"",IF(MONTH(A2+1)=MONTH(A2),A2+2," "))

It helps if you use a subject line that's more descriptive. Perhaps
"Checking end of month date"
