How to Add Months to Date in Google Sheets

To add months to a date in Google Sheets, you can use the EDATE function. The EDATE function takes two arguments: a start date and the number of months to add.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add months to a date in Google Sheets:

1. Open your Google Sheets document or create a new one.
2. Click on the cell where you want the result to appear.
3. Enter the formula using the EDATE function, like this: =EDATE(start_date, months_to_add)

Replace start_date with the cell reference containing the date, and months_to_add with the number of months you want to add to the date.

For example, if you have the date in cell A1 and you want to add 3 months to it, the formula would look like this: =EDATE(A1, 3)

4. Press Enter and the result will be displayed in the selected cell.

Example

In this example, we will add a specific number of months to a date in Google Sheets.

1. In cell A1, enter the start date: 01/01/2022
2. In cell B1, enter the number of months to add: 3
3. In cell C1, enter the formula: =EDATE(A1, B1)
4. Press Enter.

The result in cell C1 will be 04/01/2022, which is 3 months after the start date.
