EDATE Function
I have a worksheet that contains (3) columns of date information; Start Date,
Number of Months, End Date. To calculate the End Date, I am using the EDATE function that is not outputting the answer I am expecting. As an example of what EDATE reports, here are some examples. Start Date # of Months End Date Example 1 Nov-10 (16) May-09 Example 2 Nov-10 (12) Nov-09 Example 3 Nov-10 (18) May-10 Example 4 Nov-10 (18) Nov-10 Can anyone tell me why EDATE is reporting incorrect data and how I might be able to fix it? Your response would be appreciated. Thank You, JAD |

EDATE Function
I think your source data is not entered in the proper format and/or result is
not formatted properly... assuming EDATE is wrong... it should give the same result for row 3 and 4... This is what I get with your inputs 1-Jul-09 1-Nov-09 1-May-09 1-May-09 I entered 1-Nov-2009 for the FROM date...

EDATE Function
Can you post your actual formulas, and data? (data, not as it appears, but
what it actually is) -- ** John C ** "JAD" wrote: I have a worksheet that contains (3) columns of date information; Start Date, Number of Months, End Date.

Your response would be appreciated. Thank You, JAD Most likely, there is a discrepancy between what your are seeing in the cells, and what is truly there. Instead of posting what you have, it would be much more useful if you posted the actual contents of the cells (as seen in the formula bar). And also, for the start dates, the cell format at the time you entered the data. --ron |
