    Try this:

    =DATE(F4,MONTH(DATEVALUE(B4&" 1")),1)

    You will probably need to translate the names of those functions (i.e. DATE, MONTH and DATEVALUE) into the Greek equivalent, and use semicolons ( ; ) instead of the commas ( , ).

    Hope this helps.

    They should have translated when the OP opened my attachment.

    kvemperor - you DID open the attachment, did you? I tested it by changing your Greek list of months to English. Please open the attachment - it SHOULD be working there.

    You could use this formula in A1, and not need to change anything else:

    =DATE(F4,MATCH(B4,$K$4:$K$15,0),1)

    Same caveats as before regarding regional settings.

    Hope this helps.

    The OP doesn't need to change anything with my formula, Pete! But they do need to open my attachment.

    Re: problem with calenar in excel(no vba, made with functios and formulas)

    Yes i opened the file of course. the months are still in Greek like mine
    I used in cells in b4 and f4 validation list that i have written in columns K and L(thats why are hidden)
    semicolons ( ; ) and commas ( , ) are changing automatically. i mean even when you put commas (if this is your regional settings)mine are converted automatically in semicolons
    i tried also myself to put English names for the months (instead of the Greeks) but i get the same error message in the cell

    @Ali,

    I opened your attachment and had #VALUE in A1 and the Greek names were still present. You could change the names in K4:K15 (hidden) to a TEXT(date,"mmmm") formula, and then it would work.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Of course, Pete - I left the month names in Greek for the OP, so that it would work for them when they opened it!
