Automatically Displaying the Previous Month in Excel
Yes, there is a formula that you can use to automatically display the previous month in your form. You can use the
function in Excel to achieve this. Here are the steps:
- In the cell where you want to display the previous month, type the following formula: =EOMONTH(TODAY(),-2)+1
- Press Enter to apply the formula. The cell should now display the first day of the previous month.
- If you want to display the entire previous month, you can use the following formula instead: =EOMONTH(TODAY(),-2)+1&"-"&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)
- Press Enter to apply the formula. The cell should now display the entire previous month in the format "MM/DD/YYYY-MM/DD/YYYY".
Note that the
function in the formula returns the current date, so the formula will always display the previous month based on the current date. If you want to display the previous month based on a specific date, you can replace
with that date in the formula.
