    Formula to show monthly intervals from any given month

    Hi Experts,

    If I type in 04/2016 in A13 - I need a formula in A12 (drag up) that would show 03/2016, 02/2016, 01/2016, 12/2015 and so on until i reach 04/2015 in A1.

    I know i can subtract 30 but it folds up and i was hoping to end at the first day of every month for =INDEX purposes.

    Please help

    Re: Formula to show monthly intervals from any given month

    A1 = 01-04-2015
    a2 = 01-05-2015

    select both cells and drag it below as far as needed.

    it will automatic expand to 01-06-2015 / 01-07-2015 and so on.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    04/2016 is not a date in excel, it is just text.

    A date is just a number representing the number of days passed since 1/1/900...and then formated in a way that we recognise as a date. So, for instance, today (Mon May 2016) is actually 42506

    If you are working with dates, it is almost always better yo use real dates (including the day, month and year), then you can use them more easily in calcs.

    You can format dates to look like (almost) whatever you want, by using the built-in formatting options, or by using Custom Formatting
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
