Are the dates in the drop down full dates like 8/9/2006?

If so, replace:

DATEVALUE("08/01/2006")

With:

U4-DAY(U4)+1

I have the following formula that uses datevalue to determing what range
to lookup. I'd rather not use datevalue as each month I will have to
change the value to the first of that month. Is there something I can
use that will automatically find the first day of the month based on
the month in U4 - which is a drop down menu (Data Validation list
containing the dates of the month).

=IF(U4-6<DATEVALUE("08/01/2006"),HLOOKUP(U4-6,Data!B23:AF27,4,FALSE)/1000,HLOOKUP(U4-6,Data!B5:AF9,4,FALSE)/1000))
Thanks.
