    Determine last and current month (2018 - 2019)

    Hi all,

    Im using these 2 formules to determine the last and current month;

    Last; =TEXT(TODAY()-DAY(TODAY());"MMM")&RIGHT(YEAR(TODAY());2)
    Current; =TEXT(DATEVALUE(1&B22);"mmm")&RIGHT(YEAR(TODAY());2)

    I use these formules to filter data.

    Now with changing from 2018 to 2019 it goes wrongl

    Last month; Dec19
    Current month; Jan19

    How can i change the formule that it doesn't automatically take the current year but in case of transition of years it shows Dec18 - Jan19?

    Last month:
    =TODAY()-DAY(TODAY())

    Current month:
    =TODAY()

    Then format the cell as "mmm/yy"

    Works perfect, thank you!

    I would like to understand =TODAY()-DAY(TODAY())
    If i read it i would think that it should display 4 january 19 but it displays 31-12-2018.
    How does this work?

    Date is a serial number.

    Enter =Today() in A1 and format the cell as "General".

    If Today's data - day(s) it means the last day of the previous month.

    Helped?

    Straight from Excel Help. (F1)
    DAG
    Geeft de dag als resultaat van een datum die wordt vertegenwoordigd door een serieel getal. De dag wordt weergegeven als een geheel getal van 1 tot 31.
    Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.
