How to Create a Formula to Increase a Date by 1 Month?

Microsoft Excel is a powerful program. If you are using it for a calendar or anything else where you might need to find the date exactly 1, 2, or 3 months after another date here is a formula you can use.

Turn on your computer and open a new or existing Excel spreadsheet.WH.performance.mark('step1_rendered');

In any cell, for this example we will use A2, type in you date. Ex. 1/1/2006

In a different cell, for this example we used B2, type in the amount of months cell A2 is to be incremented by. Ex. 5

In the last cell type the formula:
=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2)+B2,MIN(DAY(A2),DAY(DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2)+B2+1,0))))replacing what is in bold with the appropriate cells for your spreadsheet.

You will see that this cell now has the calculation desired.

Another option is to use =EDATE(start_date,months)
This is a simpler method but can only be used if the Analysis ToolPak add-in is installed.
