I have in one cell the following formula:

=TEXT(TODAY(),"mmmm")

This will display the current month for today "March". Perfect.
I have the cell merged with the next four cells. The next five blocks of cells are all five columns worth of cells merged together. In the second block, I would like to have the next month displayed. I have the following formula in the next cell.

=TEXT(MONTH(TODAY())+1,"mmmm")

The result I get is "January"

Is there a simple formula that will allow me to get the correct next month displayed? I would then like to add "+2", "+3", etc. to fill the next four cells with successive months.

Thanks for the support.
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
How about:

=TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())+1, DAY(TODAY())), "mmmm")

Hi, you can also try;

=TEXT(EDATE(TODAY(),1),"mmmm")

Where the 1 is the number of months to increment.
