Default Excel date calculation

Hi

Warp the whole formula within a double unary minus.
This coerces True's to 1 and Falses's to 0
=--(TEXT(D1,"yyyy mm")=TEXT(NOW(),"yyyy mm"))

Works great! Thanks!
Not to be too picky, but is there a way to modify the function to
return 1
when the contition is true, and 0 if the condition if false?

Hi

Try
=TEXT(A1,"yyyy mm")=TEXT(NOW(),"yyyy mm")
This will work for all months

I have a rather large spreadsheet which tracks hospital patient
admissions. I
need to identify only those who are admitted in the current month
(say
November), but I am getting all patients admitted in November for
prior
years, 2005, 2004, etc.

Is there a function that can look at the entered month/year of
admission and
compare it with the current month/year to result in a TRUE
condition
so that
I may identify these individuals?

Thanks in advance,
