Extracting first value of each month

Different interpretation...
Assuming that A2:B10 contains the data, try the following formula which
needs to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER...
C2, copied down and over to Column D:
=INDEX(A$2:A$10,SMALL(IF(MATCH($A$2:$A$10-DAY($A$2:$A$10)+1,$A$2:$A$10-DA
Y($A$2:$A$10)+1,0)=ROW($A$2:$A$10)-ROW($A$2)+1,ROW($A$2:$A$10)-ROW($A$2)+
1),ROWS(C$2:C2)))
Hope this helps!

Hello,
How do you extract the first value (plus the date) of each month out of
a series?
Example
2/4/05 data
2/12/05 data
2/13/05 data
3/1/05 data
3/2/05 data
etc
In this sample I only want to pull:
2/4/05 data
3/1/05 data
In reality I have a large dataset I am working with (15 years with
weekly entries). I just want to pull the first value (and date) of each
month.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Al
Thank You!
