Dates
Hi,
I am trying to add 6 months to a date in column A. Dates are formatted as dd/mm/yy (UK). I have tried a few different ideas but the amended date switches to US format. This despite the cells being formatted as UK Dates. My current formula is =SUM(MONTH(A5))+(6) Any ideas please? Mickey Start Date 6 Month Date 01/06/2005 12/01/1900 01/01/2001 07/01/1900 01/02/2001 08/01/1900 01/06/2005 12/01/1900 |

Dates
One way:
=DATE(YEAR(A5),MONTH(A5)+6,DAY(A5)) Note that this will mean that 6 months from 31 August 2005 will be 3 March 2006 due to the difference in the number of days per month. If you want something different, you're going to have to explain what should happen in those cases. In article , "MBlake" wrote: Hi, I am trying to add 6 months to a date in column A.
