Advancing date to the first of next month?

[Guest]

I have a "start date" of 12/17/06 & I need a formula that will advance first
billing date to 01/10/05. I'm already using "=date(year(a1),month(a1)+1,10)".
When going from December to January, I'm getting #NUM! Thanks!!

Statesman --

Howze about:

=DATE(YEAR(EDATE(A1,1)),MONTH(EDATE(A1,1)),10)

Tried it, and it seemed to work for months of various lengths and across the
end of the year.

Your formula works for me. However, another approach is to ensure that the
Analysis Toolpak add-in is installed (Tools-Addins & make sure Analysis
Toolpak is checked) and use this formula

=eomonth(a1,0)+10
