What I posted earlier assumed you would put a number 1-12 instead of a date
in cell $g$1.
It's always helpful to FULLY explain your problem.

Sloth,

I cant believe its that simple. I have other formulas that dont have the
month in the same way and work fine. How odd.

Big thanks Non the less.

=IF(MONTH(C2)=MONTH($G$1),ROW(),"")

does this do what you want?

Bernard, forgot to say. If the condition is true (the months are the
same)
then show the Row number else dont show anything.

At the moment it shows nothing. If i reverse the condition it reveals
the
row number but it reveals it on any condition.

Bernard,

I was working through a previous post on this forum. The post in
question
used the letter "Y" to trigger a formula that copied the data to
another
sheet. I was trying to do the same thing but using an end date as the
trigger, hence the comparison between the dates.
A b c d
e F G
1 Student Name Age Date Joine Quit
12/05/2006
2 Fred 11 12/05/2006 2
3 Harry 22 15/05/2004 y 3
4 Bill 12 23/11/2004 4
5

A, B, C are self explanitory. D contains the "Y" for the old way of
doing
it. E2 contains the formula above. Columns G and C are formated as
Date.

Clearly the month value of the date in C2 does not equal the value
in G1.
What does =MONTH(C2)=G1 return? Is it TRUE or FALSE
Tell us more about the values in C2 and in G1
best wishes

blank

i want it to return the column number. Thanks anyway.

Perhaps g1 should be absolute $g$1

Hi,
Can anyone help please.

I have the following straightforward formula in a spreadsheet.
=IF(MONTH(C2)=G1,ROW(),"")
For some reason it doesnt return the row number when the
months are the
same. What am I missing?

thanks in advance for the help
