Calculate 6 Months

I have a spreadsheet where I need Excel to calculate (ADD) 6 mouths
automatable for anther date. The mouths need to be consecutive. IE in one
cell I will put 1/29/2005 and in anther cell I need Excel to put 6/1/2005

The date 6/1/2005 isn't 6 months after 1/29/2005, was that a typo?

If you want to calculate 6 months after a date use this formula, assume your
old date is in A1:

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

Also, do you need it to produce the first day of the month which is 6 months
out? In that case use this:

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+6,1)

Does that help?

Perhaps this is what you want.....assuming your starting date is in A1

=(MONTH(A1)+6)&"/"&1&"/"&YEAR(A1)

Formulawise with 1/29/2005 in A1;
enter in B1
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+6,DAY(A1))


B1 uses the same Year, the same day
but for the month it adds 6, << this
in order to get what you want.

otherwise 6 months from 1/29/2005 IS 6/01/2005.
