Hi all,
In sheet1 cell A1, I want a formula to return the text from the dates tab for the relevant month
I.e sheet1 cell A1 I would like a formula thtat says it is currently february, so it returns the text from dates tab: cell A21, because cell A20 is february. I think it might need an index match formula? Any help much appreciated. thank you
There isn't a Sheet1.
And please use Excel dates NOT text to define dates. You can format Excel dates ("mmmm") to "appear" as text
in A1
=Today()
Custom Format as "mmmm"
If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED.
Well, February has only 28 days ...
Anyway, any reason why this needs to be a lookup? Can't you use something like this?
=TEXT(EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1,"dddd dd mmmm")&" - "&TEXT(EOMONTH(TODAY(),0),"dddd dd mmmm")
