Similarly, 30 or 31 days will be added based on the total days of the following month. But here you cannot manually add 30 days to each date, you can only set the following month to add 28/29/30/31 days to the original date.
📌 Steps:
➤ In Cell C5, the related EDATE formula will be:
=EDATE(B5,1)➤ Press Enter, autofill the entire column & you’ll find the results.
