<h1>EDATE Function</h1>
|
|
<p>The <b>EDATE</b> function is one of the date and time functions. It is used to return the serial number of the date which comes the indicated number of months (month-offset) before or after the specified date (start-date).</p>
|
|
<p>The <b>EDATE</b> function syntax is:</p>
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>EDATE(start-date, month-offset)</em></b></p>
|
|
<p><em>where</em></p>
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>start-date</em></b> is a number representing the first date of the period entered using the <a href="Date.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">Date</a> function or other date and time function.</p>
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>month-offset</em></b> is a number of months before or after <b><em>start-day</em></b>. If the <b><em>month-offset</em></b> has the negative sign, the function will return the serial number of the date which comes before the specified <b>start-date</b>. If the <b><em>month-offset</em></b> has the positive sign, the function will return the serial number of the date which follows after the specified <b>start-date</b>.</p>
