Hi,

I'm struggling to get the function working to figure out the first day of
the following month. So if I have a cell with say 23 July I want my function
to result in 1st Aug.

I need this to be function not a formula cos I'm going to refer to it in my
code.

any help greatly appreciated


Thanks

Suzanne

see if this is what you want, may have to change sheet and cell ref

startmonth = Month(Sheets(1).Cells(1, 2))
endmonth = startmonth + 1
MsgBox "1st " & MonthName(endmonth)

demo't from the immediate window:

dt = DateValue("July 23, 2007")
dtNext = DateSerial(year(dt),Month(dt)+1,0)
? format(dtNext,"dddd")
Tuesday
? dtNext
07/31/2007

Sorry, had a typo in my dtNext formula and wasn't paying attention:

dt = DateValue("July 23, 2007")
dtNext = DateSerial(year(dt),Month(dt)+1,1)
? format(dtNext,"dddd")
Wednesday
? dtNext
08/01/2007
? format(dtNext,"1\st mmm")
1st Aug
