I need to calculate with a formula the date of someones next birthda
based upon a pre-determined date. For example, I need to calculate th
date of a person's birthday based upon a start date at work:

Start Date - 12/2/1999
Birth Date - 08/01/1956
Formula Result - 08/01/2000 because that would be the next birthday fo
this individual based upon the start date of 12/2/1999.

I simply cannot figure out how to do this with a formula - can anyon
help? I'm using Excel 2010 in Window's 7.

Thanks,
Robert

If the two dates above are in cells B1 & B2, enter the below formula i
cell B3

=DATE(YEAR(B1)+1,MONTH(B2),DAY(B2)

Is that what you mean

cell B3

=DATE(YEAR(B1)+1,MONTH(B2),DAY(B2))

I thought he wanted the *FIRST* birthday after the Start Date.

Ron - thank you so much. Your formula does everything I had hoped
including recognizing that the start date may fall before or after th
month and day of the birthdate and adjusts accordingly.
