I am using the edate formula edate(A1,1). Cell A1 is 01/31/2006. The
next date is 02/28/2006 however all subsequent days are now the 28th of
each month, not the actual last day of the month. Can you please advise
how I can correct this formula?

Hi Rose

Instead of letting A1 increment as you copy down, hold A1 constant with
the absolute reference $A$1 and let the increment increase by using
ROW(1:1). In A2
=$A$1+ROW(1:1)
As you copy down, row will increment by 1 each time and you will get the
correct end of month for the whole tear.

If you're looking for last days of months, then how about using the EOMONTH
function instead?

=EOMONTH(A1,1)
That would return 2/28/06

=EOMONTH(A1,2)
Returns 3/31/06
