Using '=MIN(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+{7,6},DAY(A1)*{0,1}) )'
Would you look at that! Thanks, Bob.

I did this for returning a date 10 months prior to the date in cell X2. I entered the formula as follows: =MIN(DATE(YEAR(X2),MONTH(X2)-{10,9},DAY(X2)*{0,1})) The date in X2 is 2/2/06 and the formula returned 3/31/05 when it should return 4/2/05. Any ideas why?

Thank you again for both of your help. One more question. How would I use the same formula to subract 6 months from today? I tried substituting the + for a - but that didn't work. Any thoughts?

Thank you Bob and bpeltzer. I searched some more and found the following and was wondering if there are any fundamental differences? Just curiousity on my part because what you have posted works great. =DATE(YEAR($D$2),MONTH($D$2)+1+C9,0) "bpeltzer" wrote: You need to change not just the 6, but the pair {7,6}. For n months ahead, the array should be {n+1,n}, so {14,13} to advance 13 months. "JNW" wrote: I found this formula in one of the posts (Credit to Barry Houdini) and I was wondering how I might edit it. Right now it calculates the date 6 months from today without passing into the next month. I need to edit this formula in order to add 10, 11, and 13 months to the date given in another cell. I tried changing the 6 to 13 but that didn't work. Any ideas? Thank you. JNW |
