first day of the current month
I would like a cell to show the first day of the current month. For
example, today is Monday, February, 27, 2006. I would like the cell to show Feb 1, 2006. I tried =month(now()) but it showed Jan 01, 1900. I tried putting the =now() in one cell and then using =month(a1) where a1 referenced the cell with the now function with the same result as above. Any suggestions? Lila |

One way:
=TODAY()-DAY(TODAY())+1 Another: =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()), 1) In article , "Lila" wrote: I would like a cell to show the first day of the current month.

This requires the analysis toolpack addin (Tools Addins Analysis Toolpack).
