B6 contains Today() function
A15 should return the month, year of the following month based on today’s date (ie today is August 26, 2002 so A15 would read: “September, 2002”
A16 to return the following month, year (eg “October, 2002) and so on through A134
B15:B134 should return the number of days for the corresponding months in column A, eg B16 would read "31". Needs to recognize leap years (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024) and assign 29 days to February in those years.
I tried =DATE(YEAR($B$6),MONTH(EDATE($B$6,k15)),1) in A15 and copied down (column K corresponded to month 1, month 2, and so on), but the results all were 2002 and I wouldn’t have a clue as how to use that approach to get the number of days/month in column B anyway.

Any help will be appreciated.

In A15 enter & copy down:

=DATE(YEAR($B$6),MONTH($B$6)+ROW(1:1),1)

Alternatively:

=EDATE($B$6,ROW(1:1))-DAY($B$6)+1

In B15 enter & copy down:

=DAY(EOMONTH(A15,0))

Hope things are well across the Atlantic.
