I have a table with A5 as my date header and A6:A500 that have Januarys dates in them. I have all the cells formatted to Date (01/15/21). Multiple cells in the A Column have the same date. At the end of each month the workbook is to be saved and a new one is to be started. In the new sheet the days are going to be the same it's just the month that need to change. I need a formula or VBA code that will change the all the dates and advance them one month. I have this VBA


Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lRow As Long, i As Long

'~~> Change this to the relevant sheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")

With ws
lRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 6 To lRow
.Range("A" & i).Value = DateAdd("m", 1, .Range("A" & i).Value)
Next i
End With
End Sub

When I run this it will change the month but I get an error code 13 Type Mismatch. Also it doesn't account for the different days of the month 29th, 30th,31st it just leaves those dates and then advancing to March it doesn't do anything with them.
Any ideas.
Also my table has a total row. With word total in the A Column I don't think that's causing a problem but just want to give all the facts

The named formula is nMonth =MONTH(1&LEFT('4d'!B1048573,3)) It is assigned to the sheet named 4d
Dave, I can't get this to work. I'm sure I'm just putting one of the formulas in wrong space. Where does the =MONTH (1..... go?

Thank you very much. The -1 in your previous comment worked such a simple fix. I might change it to this code just to avoid any issues in the future
You're welcome, If this satisfies your issue, please mark the post you consider best soloution.

You do not have to use the named range but I wanted to make the formula look as simple as possible.
Use Formulas Name Manager new name nMonth = =MONTH(1&LEFT('4d'!$B$2,3))
The name can be for the workbook or a particular sheet; my example is on sheet 4d.
The formula works for full month names or short names Jan or January

You would think there would be a Vba code out there that would add one month to dates with days 1 through 28.
Then with days 29 and 30 only update if a certain cell has January, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. Then day 31 would only update if that certain cell had January, March, May, July, August, October, December

What do you want to do with Jan 29, 30, and 31 for Feb. I did not amend the formula to show blank for dates > 28 for most February dates
With this approach
- convert B14:B19 to Values with VBA or functions
- cut the range and paste it to A2

The DateAdd function in VBA is supposed allow for the variation in the number of days per month.
