Hi
I have in cell A1=1/1/2019 and I want to add 1 year to that date. So I did this B1 = A1+date(1,0,0) but I got wrong answer

01/01/201902/12/2019

Any idea why? I thought I should get 1/1/2020. Thank you very much.
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Thank you that helps in that example but lets say if I want to add 1 year, 2 month, 3 days to a date. Can it be done using one function? Thank you once again
