Subtract 1 year from todays date

[Guest]

I have looked and I know it must be eady but I want to subtract 1 year from
todays date in code, so I tried date-1 year but to no avail, I can use
date-365 but I would like it to automatically take into account leap years

Thanks

This formular in code may work

1_yr_before = DateSerial(Year(Now()) - 1, Month(Now()), Day(Now()))

=date(year(date())-1,month(date()),day(date())) will take today's month/day
and the prior year. I'm not sure what you'd get on Feb 29 ;-).

using a formula: =EDATE(TODAY(),-12)
using VBA: dateadd("yyyy",-1,date)
