I want to add 6 months to a certain date in a formula (Excel)

[Guest]

I need to calculate 6 months (for example) starting from a certain date (not
TODAY)...

 

[RagDyeR]

One way.
With starting date in A1, try this:

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+6,DAY(A1))

[Bob Phillips]

=MIN(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+{7,6},DAY(A1)*{0,1}))

this caters for 31st March not returning 1st October but 30th September.

=MIN(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+{7,6},DAY(A1)*{0,1}))

Verry nice. Finally, a concise substitute for the EDATE ATP function.
