    Set date using value from another cellfor the day

    Hi,

    I have a cell with a drop down of 1-31 in E5. I need to create a list of months, all using the same date of the month using the value in E5. This forms part of a long IF formula if that affects things.

    Cant seem to work it out myself! I have last day of the month, last working day of the month but this one eludes me.

    Let say 31 in E5 combine with month=9, returns 1st-Oct !

    Not exactly sure what you are wanting to do or how your formula integrates, but does the attached give you what you need.

    Perhaps you could upload a sample to demonstrate the problem in more detail

    Hi Hangman,

    Thanks, that gave me the nudge in the right direction I needed. I have a user entered beginning date, and using =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),E5) gives me a draggable list with the same day of the month working down.

    Hi propithius,

    Does that give you all you need or are there other things you are trying to achieve now with this...
