Default Add months and adding partial monhts

Hi -

When I need to add a month, to a date. I use -

=DATE(YEAR(B27),MONTH(B27)+S21,MIN(DAY(B27),DAY(DA TE(YEAR(B27),MONTH(B27)+S22,0))))

However, I sometimes need to enter 1.5 months or 2.5. I figured out a way
to do this by looking at the number and figuring out if it is a decimal then
adding the decimal to the days -

=DATE(YEAR(N26),MONTH(N26),DAY(N26)+(DAY(P26)*L26) )

My question is, how do I do this with one formula. It seems like a took the
long road to this solution.

Any suggestions?

Adam

Thumbs up Answer: Add months and adding partial monhts

Hi Adam,

Great question! There is actually a simpler way to add partial months to a date in Excel. You can use the EDATE function, which allows you to add a specified number of months to a date, including partial months.

Here's the formula you can use:
  1. =EDATE(B27,S21)

In this formula, B27 is the date you want to add months to, and S21 is the number of months you want to add. You can enter a decimal value for S21 to add partial months.

For example, if you want to add 1.5 months to the date in cell B27, you can use the formula:
  1. =EDATE(B27,1.5)

This will add one month and 15 days to the date in cell B27.
