    Circular Referencing Involving Dates

    2.xlsm2.xlsmI am working on creating a model for loans and this is the last formula I have to figure out. I attached the spreadsheet with everything deleted except for what I need help with.

    Columns G and H display the start and end of my company's fiscal periods. When a date is typed into column A I need that date to be interjected into columns g and h to seperate a period into two new periods.

    So say I have three periods:
    G H
    5/26/06 6/22/06
    6/23/06 7/27/06
    7/28/06 8/31/06

    And then in column A I have dates 6/13, 6/15, 8/08 I would need it to look like:
    G H
    5/26/06 6/12/06
    6/13/06 6/14/06
    6/15/06 6/22/06
    6/23/06 7/27/06
    7/28/06 8/07/06
    8/08/06 8/31/06

    I posted this in another forum (http://www.excelkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1585) and didn't get any response. Since then I have made some progress but I am still having two main issues. If two of the dates inputed into column A are in the same fiscal month only the first will appear in columns G and H. When a date from column A creates a new period the previous period groups together to combine the previous fiscal month and the next fiscal month up to the date inserted from column A.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi and welcome

    It's a good idea posting a link to another forum were you posted the same question. Might I suggest you do the same on the other forum? Cheers

    I figured it out on my own! Thanks to anyone who tried, it was a tough one.

    Re: Circular Referencing Involving Dates

    I added a column onto the Fiscal Calendar tab sheet that combined the new dates from column A on Sheet 1 to all of the begginging dates of each fiscal period. I then created a micro that listed them chronologically. From the chronological list that now contained the new dates I was able to write codes on Sheet 1 to display each of the new periods in between my specified start and ending dates.
    I am not very good at explaining all the technical stuff, I tried to attach the file but it wouldn't let me.
