Hi

I have a list with dates in F5-F50. I would like to automatically
calculate the date six months future to populate automatically in
G5-50. I have found this by searching:
=DATE(YEAR(F1),MONTH(F1)+6,DAY(F1)) but how do I get the function to
progress through the list so that G5 is calculated automatically by
picking up the date from F5, G6 from F6 and so on? Sorry, I don't work
in excel but have to update this list. Thanks.

Put your formula in G5.
Change F1 to F5.
Fill down.

This is pretty basic stuff. I suggest you try to really understand what is
going on if you will need to do more with Excel.

See your other post, and please don't post the message more than once (and
particularly not with typographical errors when you repost!).
