I tried to explain that to someone in the office a while back and they just
didn't quite click in to it. I changed my explanation to the first minus 1
and the light bulb came on. Personally I use the 0 thing but I have never
tried to explain it since. I guess the 0th day of the month was a bit too
conceptual...

Or even
=date(2007,10,0)

The zeroeth day of the next month is the last day of the previous month.

My preference is to use the first of the next month minus one. Something like
this...

=DATE(2007, 10, 1) - 1
Placed in a cell gives you Sept 30th...

I am trying to work on a template for a bi-weekly employee time sheet. I need
the dates to range from the 1st to the 15th, and then from the 16th till the
end of the month. Is there a formula that can be used so the system would
recognize the months that have 30 or 31 days?
