Hi,

I have a set of dates and I wish to bucket them according to my company's fiscal months. For example, 2/25/13 falls within fiscal March and my date range table (C1:E7) is aligned as such. What kind of formula can I use so that when I do a lookup on any date in column A, it will return the proper value from column E? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum

This seems wayyyyy too simplistic...
=D1
format custom "MMMM"

hi,
please try this one. paste it in b1, and move down
=VLOOKUP(A1;$C$1:$E$7;3;TRUE)
or
=VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$E$7,3,TRUE)

That's it! Thanks young_86! I found another variant in =LOOKUP(A1,$D$1:$E$7,$F$1:$F$7).
