Calculating the end of the month
 

I have a sheet that needs to be able to alternate between the 15th and
last day of each month. The user will enter a start date, and I need
the code to start at this point and jump to the next date. Example:


Start date: 01/15/06
run code
date: 01/31/06
run code
date: 02/15/06
run code
date: 02/28/06

and so on. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you.

Calculating the end of the month
 

Hi mastermind,

The first of next month can be determined by getting the "0" day for the
next month. Here's a function that should work for you. Just pass in the
current date, and it will return the next date:

Public Function gdtGetNextPeriodEnd(rdtCurrentPeriodEnd _
As Date) As Date
If Day(rdtCurrentPeriodEnd) = 15 Then
gdtGetNextPeriodEnd = DateSerial(Year( _
rdtCurrentPeriodEnd), Month(rdtCurrentPeriodEnd) _
+ 1, 0)
Else
gdtGetNextPeriodEnd = DateSerial(Year( _
rdtCurrentPeriodEnd), Month(rdtCurrentPeriodEnd) _
+ 1, 15)
End If
End Function
