Default Need help with a date formula

Hi Folks,

I would really appreciate help with this.

I need a formula for the date that is the last day of the month three months
ago. E.g. if today is 28th Feb 2009, I want to return 30th Nov 2008. So
maybe someone could construct the formula for me with 28th Feb 2009 in cell
A1.

Many thanks, probably a lot easier than it seems to me right now.

Andrew

=eomonth(TODAY(),-3)

If you get a #NAME error then

Tools|Addins - Select the analysis toolpak
Re-Enter the formula

In case you don't have the analysis toolpak

=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())-2, 0)
