Default Formula = Today's date + 1 month

The easiest way is to use the EDATE function, for which you need

in A1

=EDATE(TODAY(),1)

in A2 copied down

=EDATE(A1,1)

note that with EDATE if today is 31st March EDATE(TODAY(),1) will give
30th April


The problem with doing it this way is that when you get near the end of a
month, other dates may not be what the OP really wants. For example, on 28-31
Jan 2006, the subsequent dates will be limited to the 28th of the succeeding
months (until 1 Feb 2006).

1/31/2006
2/28/2006
3/28/2006
4/28/2006
5/28/2006
6/28/2006
7/28/2006

If end of month dates are preferable, then, in a1 use the formula:

=edate(TODAY(),ROWS($1:1))

and copy down. Then you get:

1/31/2006
2/28/2006
3/31/2006
4/30/2006
5/31/2006
6/30/2006
