Date formula needed
 

Hi

If in cell A1 I have a month name for example: 'January'

In cell D1 i want to say, if the month in cell A1 says 'January' then add a
month and show 'February' in cell D1 and so on so that in cell G1 i want to
say if cell D1 shows 'February' then add a month and show 'March' in cell G1.

The first month won't always be January!

Is this possible?

Many thanks

Rich

Date formula needed
 

Hi Rich

In cell 1, enter 01/01/2005 but format the cell FormatCellsNumberCustom
mmmm so it displays as January
in D1
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)
Ensure formatting of D1 is the same as A1
Copy the formula to G1 etc. as required.

Regards

Roger Govier

One way would be to make a table,
AA1:AA12 = January through December
AB1:AB12 = February through January
Then sort the table alphabetically ascending on column AA,

Then use:

=VLOOKUP(A1,$AA$1:$AB$12,2,TRUE) in D1 and copy over to G1, etc.

This assumes you have typed the name of the month into A1:

=TEXT(DATEVALUE("1 "& A1&" "&YEAR(TODAY()))+31,"mmmm")

Actually, it could be simplified to:

=TEXT(DATEVALUE("1 "& A1)+31,"mmmm")

I think the above will work in all regions, but if it does not, you could try:

=TEXT(DATEVALUE("1 "& A1 & " 2000")+31,"mmmm")
