Default Beginning of the month formula

Try that again.
In some cell you can get any of: "JAN", "FEB" ......
Are these text or dates that just display the month?
Does A1 automatically display 1-Jan-2007 when the 'drop-down' cell has JAN?
You originally said it has 31-Jan-2007
I want to help so please keep at it.

Thanks bernard,
I have a validation drop down list that when I select January then on
cells
A1 will show Beginning of that month and A2 the end of that month. The
drop
down list has Jan to Dec. I just need to sort the cells out to show the
dates
of the present year.

If A1 has 31-Jan-07 then this formula in A2 will show 1-Jan-07 (no need
to
'select A1): =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1). You may need to format the cell
as
it might display the date as 01/01/2007

You want something "For the rest of the year"? Not clear what this means.
If
B1 has a Feb date then the same formula copied to B2 will work.

best wishes

Looking for the formula (non array) for the start of a month selected.
ie: if i select 31-Jan 07 in cell A1.
Cell A2 will show 01-Jan-07
and so on for the rest of the year?
