Using Dates

Hi there,

I am having trouble with some dates.

How can I create a date in one cell, which will automatically add 1 year onto it in another cell.

Also, if for example I do this for a whole column how can I make the cells blank.

For example:

24/02/2011 , 24/06/2012
,
22/03/2012 , 22/03/2013

Its quite confusing, and if I haven't explained myself let me know.

Many thanks

RE: Using Dates

Hi Luke. The formula I would use would be =a1+365. A1 being your date and 365 representing 365 days in a year.

to have the cells blank Im picking you want to autofull the formula to other cells in Column B that will make sense when you enter a date into column A.

You would need to write an if function for this, ie,

=if(a1="","",a1+365)

"" means blank, so if the cell in column A is blank the cell in column B will be blank but if its not blank it will run your formula.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Paul
