Which is the best function if I want to find a period date (for example 6 months) based on a given date? So, if a have a date and then want to find the date which is 6 months from that.

RE: Functions

Hello Luciana,

Thank you for your question. There is a very useful function in Excel which can do this for you:

Say you have a date in cell A1, the function in cell B1 would be:

=EDATE(A1,6)

This will return a date exactly 6 months from the date in A1.

I hope this helps!

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Repeating headings on spreadsheets that print on more than one page

By default when you print a spreadsheet out and it prints on more than one page, the headings at the top and the side of the spreadsheet don't appear on all the pages following page 1.

To get Excel to repeat headings on all pages when printing, go to File - Page Setup - Sheet, then select the rows to repeat at the top of pages, and the columns to repeat at the side of pages by clicking on the red arrows at the right side of the two boxes under the 'Print titles' area. Then click OK.

If you view your spreadsheet in Print Preview, you should see the headings being repeated on each page.
