Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Hi sady,
Hope your doing good!

if your look for Formula to do that please try with this formula "=IF((C3-B3)>0,(C3-B3),ABS((C3-B3))&" - null")"

Thanks!

Nulls aren't the same as 0. A + null = null, a - null = null etc etc

Duplicated your columns for value 1 and value 2. Replace values null --> 0 and then do the subtraction. Delete the two helper columns.
