If todays 7/10, then the next would be 8/1, if today is 8/1 then 9/1

    Hey Brianna, the following should do the trick, while may not be perfect.

    =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(COLUMN WITH DATE), 1) + 30

    Ensure the COLUMN WITH DATE is the 7/10 you referenced in your orginal question

    Essentially you isolating the month from a date, making it the first of that month in date form, then adding 30 days to move the date forward a month…

    Let me know if this worked!
