I presume weekends and holidays do not matter...

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+11,DAY(A1)+1)

How can I calculate 11 months and 1 day from a given date using
an excel 2003 function?

That depends. Which dates would you prefer for 11 months after the
following dates on the left?

3/31/2010 + 11mo = (a) 3/3/2011 or (b) 2/28/2011
5/31/2010 + 11mo = (a) 5/1/2011 or (b) 4/30/2011
7/31/2010 + 11mo = (a) 7/1/2011 or (b) 6/30/2011
10/31/2010 + 11mo = (a) 10/1/2011 or (b) 9/30/2011
12/31/2010 + 11mo = (a) 12/1/2011 or (b) 11/30/2011

Column (a) is the result of DATE(YEAR(A1),11+MONTH(A1),DAY(A1). Column (b)
is the result of EDATE(A1,11).

For most purposes, people prefer (b).

On the other hand, for your purposes, would it bother you that with EDATE,
11mo plus 3/28/2010, 3/29/2010 and 3/30/2010 as well as 3/31/2010 are all
2/28/2011?

That does follow US law for most purposes.

If you like column (b), then 11mo plus 1day is simply 1+EDATE(A1,11). You
might need to select the Date format explicitly after entering or editing
the formula.

If you get a #NAME error, see the EDATE help page for the remedy.

Hi,

You may try this. D5 has the date. E5 has 11. Please note that for the
EDATE function to work, you will have to install the Analysis Toolpak from
Tools > Adins

=EDATE(D5,E5)+1
