Since the dates are basically a form of numbers in Excel, they can also be easily manipulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the example below, we will show how to <strong>increment the date<\/strong> in Excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increment Date in Excel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, we need to use the <strong>DATE function<\/strong> and combine it with other Excel functions, depending on the part of the date that we want to increment: <strong>MONTH, DAY, or YEAR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing we need to do is insert a date in <strong>cell A2<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"127\" height=\"71\" src=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/word-image-15865-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15866\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When we insert the <strong>DATE function in cell B2<\/strong>, we will see that it has three parameters: <strong>1) year; 2) month, and 3) day<\/strong>. We will choose <strong>cell A2<\/strong> for each of these parameters, but we will increment the <strong>DAY parameter <\/strong>by one. Our formula will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2)+1)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>cell B2<\/strong>, we will get the result for the <strong>15th of March 2022<\/strong>, which is one date <strong>higher than the date<\/strong> that we have presented in <strong>cell A2<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"635\" height=\"117\" src=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/word-image-15865-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/word-image-15865-2.png 635w, https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/word-image-15865-2-300x55.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To do the same thing for months, we will just add a number to a part of the formula where we present a month. We will increment our date by two months in <strong>cell C2<\/strong>. Our formula will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2)+2,DAY(A2))<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>And our result will be <strong>14th of May<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"119\" src=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/word-image-15865-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/word-image-15865-3.png 628w, https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/word-image-15865-3-300x57.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For years, we will do the same thing, but change the value after the <strong>parameter for YEAR<\/strong>.
