I have dates formatted as 12-Jan-1967 (in A1) and 11-Jan-1967(in B1).
How do I tell Excel to take the date 12-Jan-1967 in C1 since I want
only the dates from/after the 12th day of the month? Since the dates
are stored as numbers is there a way to check for the first two digits
and if the first two digits are less than 12 then to reject that date?
Basically all I want to do is extract dates from the 12th and reject
the ones before the 12th of any month. Thank you!

If a date is in A1 then:

=IF(DAY(A1)<13,"bad","good")

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Something does not seem to be working and I
am sure it's an oversight on my part. I have 11-Jan-67 in E2 and
14-Jan-67 in G2 and in H2 =IF(DAY(E2<12),G2,E2) and yet it still
returns the value of 11-Jan-67. Is there some special formatting I
should follow?

Thank you.

We are almost the
=IF(DAY(E)<12,G2,E2)
not
=IF(DAY(E2<12),G2,E2)
