Check to make sure there isn't a single quote in front of the numbers which
would turn them into text. Is the date then 31259 really 3/12/59 ?

Hi,


I have a column (e.g. Column X) that lists a series of dates, entered
by the user.


I have a table array (Columns A-L) of all the months, Jan-Dec.


What I want to be able to do is, under each month in the table, look
into Column X and list all the dates within Column X that are relevant
to that month.


I've tried LOOKUP but because dates are formatted like 31259 I dont
know how to write the logic.


Can anyone help?


Thanks a lot


The cells are formatted as date. Dates are displayed as normal.


To give an example, one cell displays '12th Spetember 2007', in the
forumla bar, the cell has 12/10/2007 but in when used in a logic
statement, the cell has the value 32514 (or something similar)

Which formala should i be using?
