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

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
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)

<body id="************" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; left: -1000px;">

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))
