Calculate Employee Probation End Date
I need to automatically calculate the date 90 days after an employee's start date to schedule their review.
=DATE(YEAR(B2), MONTH(B2), DAY(B2) + 90) How it works: Excel's DATE function constructs a date from separate year, month, and day components. By extracting the year and month from the employee's start date (B2) and adding 90 to the day component (DAY(B2) + 90), the DATE function correctly calculates the date 90 days later. Excel automatically handles month and year rollovers, ensuring accuracy even when the 90-day period spans across different months or years.
Data Setup
| Employee Name | Start Date | Probation End Date |
|---|---|---|
| Alice Smith | 2023-01-15 | |
| Bob Johnson | 2023-02-01 | |
| Charlie Brown | 2023-03-10 |
Step-by-Step Guide
Enter your employee data, including 'Employee Name' and 'Start Date', into an Excel worksheet. Ensure 'Start Date' is in column B, starting from row 2.
In the cell where you want the 'Probation End Date' (e.g., C2), enter the formula `=DATE(YEAR(B2), MONTH(B2), DAY(B2) + 90)`.
Press Enter to see the calculated probation end date.
Drag the fill handle (the small square at the bottom-right of cell C2) down to apply the formula to all other employees.
