Description

EOMONTH (start_date,months)

For Example,

EOMONTH("12/12/2013",1) returns Fri Jan 31 2014 17:29:48 GMT-0500(Eastern Standard Time)

This is the last day of the month, one month after the starting date $start-date$.

• The function initially calculates the actual month by adding or subtracting the specified month from the starting date, and displays the last day of that month.
• Argument $start-date$ should be entered in a date format, using DATE function, or as a result of any other function.
• If $start-date$ is not a valid date, Calci displays #NULL error message.
• If $start-date$ plus number of months $m$ mentioned, is not a valid date, Calci displays #NULL error message.
• The number of months $months$ can be positive or negative.
• Positive value of $months$ adds up the months from $start-date$ and displays future date, while negative value of $months$ subtracts the months from $start-date$ and displays past date.
• If $months$ is a non-integer, it is truncated.
• If $months$ is omitted, Calci assumes it to be '0' i.e. last day of the same specified month is displayed.
• We can use the DD/MM/YYYY format also. For Example:"14/5/2005[DD/MM/YYYY]".
