    Excel formula if month passed or running then the month name else blank

    Dear Expert,

    Is it possible to get the result as month if month has been passed from Jan to Dec then the month name or else result will be blank. For e.g. if current running month is October then the list by using the formula will give result from Jan to Oct and for rest two month results will be blank.

    Please do let me know if needs further clarification.

    Thank you for your valuable support.

    Regards,

    Neilesh

    By now Neilesh.... you should know that a sample sheet is far more use than a vague description.

    Hi, try this:

    =IF(MONTH(TODAY())>=A2,TEXT(DATE(2018,A2,1),"mmm"),"")

    There is no need to adjust the 2018 when the year changes.

    Dear Expert, Thank you for your support expected results are giving the perfect from Jan to Oct but the Nov and Dec for Cell B12 and B13 expecting as blank which are giving output as Nov and Dec. As per message # 1, if the current month if October then the results are expecting months name from Jan to Oct and rest two other months Nov and Dec as blank.

    Dear Expert, in the provided formula =IF(MONTH(TODAY())>=A2,TEXT(DATE(2018,A2,1),"mmm"),""), if i do change the year from 2018 to 2019 then the output is giving for all the 12 months. Can you please look into the same.

    When you say"if i do change the year from 2018 to 2019" where? In the formula? In the PC settings, and if so, which month have you selected?

    I think you mean you changed the year in the PC settings, but left the month as December, so it will give all 12...

    Re: Excel formula if month passed or running then the month name else blank

    Is there any chances Sir the without changing the PC Clock if i do change the year in the formula from 2018 to 2019 then the output will be blank.

    Please find here attached revised sample workbook with the year dropdown. If i do change the year from the dropdown then the passed and current month name will be appeared but the year is not arrived then blank.

    Thank you for your valuable support.

    ???
    In B2, copied down:
    =IF($F$2>YEAR(TODAY()),"",IF(MONTH(TODAY())>=A2,TEXT(DATE(2018,A2,1),"mmm"),""))

    The 2018 in the formula does NOTHING other than help the formula produce Jan as the result rather than the month number.

    It will work just as well with your year of birth, or the year of India.s Independence....

    Another version, avoiding the 2018 in the formula might be:

    =IF($F$2>YEAR(TODAY()),"",IF(MONTH(TODAY())>=A2,LOOKUP(A2,ROW($1:$12),{"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"}),""))
