Calculate 6 Months
I have a spreadsheet where I need Excel to calculate (ADD) 6 mouths
automatable for anther date. The mouths need to be consecutive. IE in one cell I will put 1/29/2005 and in anther cell I need Excel to put 6/1/2005 |
Please explain why six months added to 1/29/2005 is 6/1/2005

The date 6/1/2005 isn't 6 months after 1/29/2005, was that a typo?
If you want to calculate 6 months after a date use this formula, assume your old date is in A1: =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+6,DAY(A1)) Also, do you need it to produce the first day of the month which is 6 months out? In that case use this: =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+6,1) Does that help? -- Regards, Dave "Jason" wrote: I have a spreadsheet where I need Excel to calculate (ADD) 6 mouths automatable for anther date.

Perhaps this is what you want.....assuming your starting date is in A1
=(MONTH(A1)+6)&"/"&1&"/"&YEAR(A1) Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Jason" wrote: I have a spreadsheet where I need Excel to calculate (ADD) 6 mouths automatable for anther date. The mouths need to be consecutive. IE in one cell I will put 1/29/2005 and in anther cell I need Excel to put 6/1/2005 |

Formulawise with 1/29/2005 in A1;
enter in B1 =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+6,DAY(A1)) B1 uses the same Year, the same day but for the month it adds 6, << this in order to get what you want. otherwise 6 months from 1/29/2005 IS 6/01/2005.
