normal calendar?I wanted the month to automatically appear when i enter the
date. I know we can make use of the date function for a normal date, is there

Hi,

Just sort properly your dates, and use your table as the reference
table of your lookup() function ...

How to sort out the dates? How should i define the start date and the end
date? The start sate & end sate should be in the same cell or different cell?

I strongly suggest using separate cells. Set it up in columns, like

A B C
Start End Fiscal Month
1/25/09 2/21/09 Feb
10/19/08 11/22/08 Nov

Then you can use formulas to determine the Fiscal Month, based on if a
given date falls between Start and End.
