formula for month that is prior to actual
I have a cell that lists today's date with the
formula =TODAY().
Let's assume that cell is A1.
Try this for a TEXT result...
=TEXT(A1-DAY(A1),"mmm yyyy")

I saw a question with this title on here and it's exactly what I want...
but
the answer is too technical for me and I'm wondering if someone can
simplify
it. Here's my problem:
Each month, my people fill in a claim for what they did last month. On
top,
I have a cell that lists today's date with the formula =TODAY(). In the
body
of the report, I need to list that the report is for the previous
month/year.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Bonnie
