I'm trying to set up a payment calculation that would start payment on the first day of the month following 180 days from any date. Thanks!

End of month: =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0) Beginning of month: =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1) NOwadays, people no longer worry about disk space, so they install everything. And of course, Excel 2007 includes the ATP functions as built-in worksheet functions. Back in the day (Excel 97), I could never count on other folks having the Analysis Toolpak installed, so I have always used DATE.

End of month:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0)

Beginning of month:
=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1)

NOwadays, people no longer worry about disk space, so they install everything. And of course, Excel 2007 includes the ATP functions as built-in worksheet functions.
