    Question Calculate the 6th month from start date

    Please can someone help, I need a formula to calculate a date 6 months
    forward from the start date. However, in the calculated 6th month, I need it to the day before the start date.
    ie: start date: 26/12/13 -- End date: 25/06/14

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Try this...

    A2 = start date

    =EDATE(A2,6)-1

    Note that the EDATE function requires the Analysis ToolPak
    add-in be installed if you're using a version of Excel prior to
    Excel 2007. If you enter the formula and get a #NAME?
    error look in Excel help for the EDATE function. It'll tell you
    how to fix the problem.

    You can try.
    =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"M")+DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")/30

    If A1=start date,B1=End date
    you can try this.
    =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"M")+DATEDIF(A1,B1,"MD")/30
