Microsoft Excel

Good morning

Could you please help me! I am designing a Spreadsheet for our archiving records

I have entered a date of which the box went into archive i.e

07.05.2004

i have added another colunm called Review date and wish the review date to be 3 years from the date the box went in so i want it to be 07.05.2007.

Is there a formula that can help me rather than freetyping the review date?

Thks!

RE: Microsoft Excel

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for your question.

Can you please make sure your dates have been entered using forward slashes or dashes and then formatted as dots.

Try the following formula in cell A2 where A1 contains the Archive date:

=DATE(YEAR(a1)+3,MONTH(a1),DAY(a1))

This formula adds 3 years to the date in cell A1 and returns the same Month and Day. You can also add numbers to the month and day if you need to.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

How to select certain data in an Excel 2010 workbook

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.

For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.

Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
