I want a simple formula that will return the next month on a column. while
maintaining the day as 25th of every month.
I mean 25 Nov 2005, 25 Dec 2005, 25 Jan 2006, 25 Feb 2006 and so on....
regards.

From edit menu click fill then select series and click month so you will
get dates by monthly

With your date in A1, put this in B1 and copy across......

=IF(MONTH(A1)=12,1&"/"&DAY(A1)&"/"&YEAR(A1)+1,MONTH(A1)+1&"/"&DAY(A1)&"/"&YEAR(A1))

This way, whenever you change the date in A1, all the other columns follow....

Thanks for the prompt response. with your method, if I click and drag the
last entry, the result is not in line with my expectation. hence my need for
a FORMULA.

Another play ..

With A1 housing a commencement date,
put in B1: =DATE(YEAR($A$1),MONTH($A$1)+COLUMN(A1),25)
Copy B1 across as far as required

To increment copying down, just change COLUMN(A1) to ROW(A1)
eg: place in A2: =DATE(YEAR($A$1),MONTH($A$1)+ROW(A1),25)
Copy A2 down as far as required

Use this instead, then you can format the cells for a display of however you
wish.

=IF(MONTH(A1)=12,1&"/"&DAY(A1)&"/"&YEAR(A1)+1,MONTH(A1)+1&"/"&DAY(A1)&"/"&YEAR(A1))*1

Thanks Max, it works! I only replaced "COLUMN" or "ROW" with +1 to get the
right results .
i.e
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,25)

Thanks once more.
