Answer 1

Your issue is with attempting to change your month by adding 1. 1 in date serials in Excel is equal to 1 day. Try changing your month by using the following:

NewDate = Format(DateAdd("m",1,StartDate),"dd/mm/yyyy")

Answer 2

I got it

Cells(1, 1).Value = StartDate
Cells(1, 1).NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"

Basically, I need to set the cell format, instead of setting the date.
