You would need to enter an XL recognized date, *not* just a text month
entry.

For example, *any* date containing the month in question, like say for March
in A1:
3/1

Then in B1, try this formula:

=TEXT(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0),"d")

thanks bpeltzer

cell auto.

Create a table with the month name in column A and the # days in column
B.
Suppose this is on Sheet2. Then =vlookup("June",Sheet2!A:B,2,0) would
return
the cell from column B in the same row where you have June in column A.
Alternately, if you have a particular date and want to know the number of
days in that month (February, after all, doesn't have the same number of
days
each year), you can calculate that. Suppose the date is in A1. Then
=day(date(year(a1),month(a1)+1,0)) will show the number of days in that
month.
