Add one Month in the next cell for several months/years
I want to add a month in the next cell over for several years. EX: In cell
A1 is Dec 2005. In cell B1 I want Jan 2006 and so on for several months/years. When you put in a formula of =A1+31, eventually it will put in the wrong month. I assume because of Leap Year. |

In A1, enter 01/12/2005
In B1, enter date(year(A1),month(A1)+1,1) and copy across -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "heater" wrote in message ...

You should use the DATE() function:
if a date is is A1, then in B1 put: =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,DAY(A1)) and just continue -- Gary's Student "heater" wrote: I want to add a month in the next cell over for several years.

Add a month instead of a fixed number of days:
=date(year(a1),month(a1)+1,1). (Note that I'm forcing the date in each month to be the first; if your starting date is greater than the 28th of the month, adding a month could eventually cause issues).
