How can I get the halfway date of two dates in Google Sheets?

Question

I have two date columns in mm-yy format and I need to know the halfway date of these two. What formula do I use? I tried simple subtraction of the two dates and then divided it by two but it didn't yield the right result.

Here's the link to the spreadsheet:

Answer 1

To find the number that's halfway between A2 and B2, use the formula

=(A2+B2)/2

(You'll need to apply a suitable date format to the output.)
