calculate anniversary of date after specified date

S

Is there a way of making a function determine the first anniversary of a
specified date after another and different specified date e.g. If I have a
date value of 05/06/2004 (5th June '04) in cell A1 and want to calculate (in
cell C3) the anniversary of that date that next follows a different date
specified in cell E8, say 01/11/05 (1st November '05)?

In the example above the answer in cell C3 should be 5/6/06 (5th June '06).

This is one of the things you can do :-

Use the "edate()" function!

finalDate = edate(yourDate, roundup(yearfrac(yourDate,
yourOtherDate),0)*12)

In your example,

yourDate refers to 5th of June 2004
yourOtherDate refers to 1st of November 2005
finalDate will be 5th of June 2006


Hope this helps!

My brain power's not up to it this morning, but it looks like you need to
make a user-defined function in Visual Basic Editor, probably involving a Do
While loop - to add a year to the date then check whether it is after the
'cut-off' date.

Try this:

=DATE(YEAR(A2)+(DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A1),DAY(A1))<=A2),MONTH(A1),DAY(A1))

With the first specified date in A1; and the different date in A2
