Date forumulas

I have a spreadsheet with a date in the first column the 2nd column date needs to be one year on from this and the 3rd column date 2 years on. Anyone know how to set this up?

RE: Date forumulas

Hello Su
Thank you for your question

Assuming the original date is in cell A1, try this formula in another cell and remember to format the column as date:

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

If this resolves your question, please mark it as resolved. If not, please reply with more information.

Kind regards
Cress

Excel tip:

LARGE and SMALL functions and their uses

Two of Excel's most common functions are the MAX and MIN functions which will display the largest (MAX) or smallest (MIN) value in a series. What if you need the 2nd or 3rd largest or smallest values instead of the largest or smallest?

The =LARGE(array,n) returns the nth largest value of a series.

The =SMALL(array,n) function returns the nth smallest value of a series.

In both functions, 'n' represents the order of the number you want to display. For example, putting in 2 as n will give you the second highest number; putting in 3 as n will give you the third highest number.
