It&#8217;s a handy tool for various financial and date-related calculations in spreadsheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EOMONTH(start_date, months)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>start_date<\/strong><\/td><td>The initial date for which you want to find the end of the month.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>months<\/strong><\/td><td>The number of months to add to the start_date. It can be positive or negative to find future or past end-of-month dates. (Optional)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The EOMONTH function is straightforward to use. Simply follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Start by selecting the cell where you want the result to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Type the formula<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=EOMONTH(start_date, months)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>into the selected cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Replace &#8216;start_date&#8217; with the cell reference or a date you want to work with. If you want to use the current date, you can simply type it as text within quotation marks, e.g., &#8220;2023-11-02&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. If you want to find the end of the month for a date in the future or the past, enter the number of months you&#8217;d like to add or subtract within the &#8216;months&#8217; argument. This argument is optional; if omitted, Excel assumes you want to find the end of the month for the &#8216;start_date&#8217; with no additional months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Press Enter, and Excel will calculate and display the end-of-month date in the selected cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at some examples to see how the EOMONTH function works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> Finding the end of the current month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=EOMONTH(\"2023-11-02\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will return the end of November 2023, which is 30th November 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 2:<\/strong> Finding the end of the next month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=EOMONTH(\"2023-11-02\", 1)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will return the end of December 2023, which is 31st December 2023, as it adds one month to the start date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 3:<\/strong> Finding the end of the previous month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=EOMONTH(\"2023-11-02\", -1)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will return the end of October 2023, which is 31st October 2023, as it subtracts one month from the start date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 4:<\/strong> Using cell references:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=EOMONTH(A2, B2)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If cell A2 contains a date, and cell B2 contains the number of months to add or subtract, this formula will calculate the end of the month based on the values in those cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The EOMONTH function is quite versatile and can be handy in financial planning, scheduling, and various other scenarios where you need to work with date calculations. It&#8217;s worth noting that the function returns a serial number, which can be formatted as a date for better readability in your spreadsheet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EOMONTH function in Excel is used to calculate the end of a month&#8217;s date, based on a given date.
