The EDATE function with examples in Excel

The EDATE function in Excel allows you to shift a date by a specified number of months, either into the future or the past. Here’s how it works:

  1. Syntax:

    • EDATE(start_date, months)
    • start_date: The initial date (a valid Excel date).
    • months: The number of months to add or subtract.
  2. Examples:

    • To find the date 6 months in the future from January 1, 2023, use:

      (result: July 1, 2023).
    • For a date 4 months ago from today, use:

      (result: 4 months before the current date).
  3. Additional Scenarios:

    • To move by years, multiply the number of years by 12 (e.g., forward 2 years:

      ).
    • EDATE maintains end-of-month dates (e.g.,

      returns February 28, 2019).
    • Leap years are respected (e.g.,

      returns February 29, 2020).

Remember, EDATE is versatile for various date-related calculations!
