Good morning-
I got results by left-clicking Format cells, then selecting Custom; in
the "Type" dropdown box you can paste in
mmmm yyyy "issue"

In that cell you can enter an Excel compatible date and the month,
year, and the word "issue" will display. You can then use formulas
such as EDATE() and EOMONTH() that reference those cells.
