Folks,
I am trying to change data in a cell every year.

A2..............B2
45..............5/20/16

On 5/20/17 I want the data to go +5, but I want this to happen every year.


so far this is what I've tried
A2..........................................B2...........H2
=IF(TODAY()=B2, H2+5, H2)........5/20........45

This works once. I need A2 to increase by 5 every year on the date I put into B2. I added the hidden cell of H2 as the initial number (which will be different for other rows).

What am I missing? I've been looking at this too long and I know it has to be a simple fix.

Thanks in advance.

For clarification only the data in column A needs to advance +5 on the anniversary date.

Cant say I really understand what you want here, but if you need a value to increase (by 5) for every year beyond a fixed year, then maybe something like...
=A1+(year(today())-fixed-year*5)

I need the values in Column A to increase by 5, on the anniversary of the date in Column B.

In my example A2 starts with 45, and the anniversary date is 5/20. On 5/20 next year, I want the value in A2 to be 50. The initial value in column A is not set. And the anniversary date I want to type in.

Assuming you have actual dates in column B. And you start a zero then

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A
[/TD]
[TD]B
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1

[TD]1/1/08

[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2
[/TD]
[TD]15
[/TD]
[TD]5/1/14
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3
[/TD]
[TD]40
[/TD]
[TD]11/1/08
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

In A1 try and copy down (with out the spaces around the <)
Code: 
=IF(TODAY() < DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(B2),DAY(B2)),(YEAR(TODAY())-1-YEAR(B2))*5,(YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(B2))*5)

Scott,
It looks like your adding 5 to the year. I need to have the value found in Column A increased by 5 every year.
