Need to Add Dates in Excel

You can use the EDATE function to quickly add or subtract months from a date. The EDATE function requires two arguments: the start date and the number of months that you want to add or subtract. To subtract months, enter a negative number as the second argument. For example, =EDATE("9/15/19",-5) returns 4/15/19.

I assume that the dates you want adjust are in date form and are in regular columns (or rows).
If so, then you can use a formula like this =DATE(YEAR(A3)+1,MONTH(A3),DAY(A3))
where the original date is in cell A3.
You can then copy this formula to calculate all the new dates you need, and then copy the results back over the original dates as VALUES.

As long as your list in Excel is formatted without missing cells in column format with a header in the cell directly above your first list time. i/e if your list is in Column A and you have 500 entries, I am assuming Cell C1 is the column header, and cell C501 is the last item of your list.

An easier way to view items similar would be to go to Data/ Filter and automatic filter.

In the arrow or list format in Cell c1 - select custom, in the pop up box you can filter the contains to highlight smaller elements of your list.

1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , click Excel Options, and then click Add-Ins.

1. View the add-ins and application extensions that are categorized as follows:
2. Active Application Add-ins Lists the extensions that are registered and currently running in your Office program.

• Inactive Application Add-ins Lists the add-ins that are present on your computer but are not currently loaded. For example, smart tags or XML Schemas are active only when the document that references them is open. Another example is the COM add-ins that are listed in the COM Add-ins dialog box. If the check box for a COM add-in is selected, the add-in is active. If the check box for a COM add-in is cleared, the add-in is inactive. To learn how to open the COM Add-in dialog box, see the section called Turn off or manage the installed add-ins.
• Document Related Add-ins Lists template files that are referenced by currently open documents.
• Disabled Application Add-ins Lists add-ins that were automatically disabled because they are causing Office programs to crash.

for example, cell A1 has date (01-01-2008) and cell A2 has current date (08-24-2008) and cell A3 shows total days, is that you want to know? if yes, apply formula as under...

cell A3......(properties set as General to show digits)................ =SUM(A2-A1)

Nope, sorry, although I am truly an expert at Excel formulas, I do not understand what you are trying to end up with in the final cell. We can compare a specified field with two spreadsheets - use named ranges and index/match lookup formulas. But then where you really lose me is in reading "a generic field" to find a match, and then placing what "data from another field" into what "other sheet" - ? See the confusion?

Best way to compare 2 given parameters would be to use a nested if formula, with index/match combo. Here is a simple Excel example of how such a formula could be structured:

Sample Data (columnar arangement):
A1: Part B1: Code C1: Price D1: Find Part E1: Find Code
A2: x B2: 11 C2: 5.00 D2: y E2: 12
A3: x B3: 12 C3: 6.00 D3: y E3: 11
A4: y B4: 11 C4: 7.00 D4: x E4: 12
A5: y B5: 12 C5: 8.00 D5: x E5: 11

To retrieve the price for part y with code 12 and return the value to cell F2, type the following formula in cell F2:
=INDEX($C$2:$C$5,MATCH(D2,IF($B$2:$B$5=E2,$A$2:$A$5),0))

Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter the formula as an array formula. The formula returns the value 8.00.

To take this one step further, with range names, this example will find one value at a specified location which matches a specific row header value and column header value. Let's say the range is home values (Range=HomeVal), Column A of HomeVal contains street addresses,"row headers" (Range=StAddress), and Row 1 contains dates of the various values that are in the body of the table, "column headers" (Range=Dates). To return the specific value from the range HomeVal to another sheet, where A1=address specified and A2=date specified:
=INDEX(HomeVal,(MATCH($A$1,StAddress,0)),(MATCH($A$2,Dates,0)))

Then make sure to press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter the formula as an array formula - if you only hit enter, these types of formulas will not work properly.

Hi,
I am using MS-2007, i got the solution upto some level only.
i can't say exactly whether it is right or not.
my solution is :

first change the settings in ControlPanel/Regional and Language Options.
Click on Customize button/open the Date Tab and set the date format there.
and then proceed with CSV.
Open CSV in Excel and divide Text to coloumns.
Ur all Date Cells will be in particual Format.
and Select that coloumns and right click Format Celss....etc.
Thanking u.

If u found any Douts, Suggestions ,Plzz let me know.

Check out: Tools -> Data -> Filter -> Auto Filter.
You may want to look at the help function to get a better idea of how powerful this feature is.

Let me know if this helps.

Try inserting seperate entry for furture day number and then reference that entry address for program math. You will have to either use same number of days to repeat (automatic) this math or accept that it would be a single shot type math. Depending on which version of excel you are using the alert can be a sound or color change. If 97 or older, there is no alert available. 2000 isn't much better.
Easier to set furture date in orginial date block right from the start. Unless you are running the excel program continuously in the background, program will only check date when running.

Good Luck,
