So I'm trying to calculate every 3rd month, (quarterly month). For example today is Aug, I want to create a formula where I input any date in Aug (8/1/2016) and it gives me 11/1/2016, also I want it to continue to reciprocate ever 3rd month automatically, like come 11/1/2016 it will then change to 2/1/2016
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Yes that works great, but it doesn't automatically change every 3 months, that's my ultimate goal!

Try this:

=EDATE(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1),3)

Try this instead:

=EDATE(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1),CHOOSE(MONTH(A1),1,3,2,1,3,2,1,3,2,1,3,2))
