Something other than DATEVALUE
I have the following formula that uses datevalue to determing what range to lookup. I'd rather not use datevalue as each month I will have to change the value to the first of that month. Is there something I can use that will automatically find the first day of the month based on the month in U4 - which is a drop down menu (Data Validation list containing the dates of the month). =IF(U4-6<DATEVALUE("08/01/2006"),HLOOKUP(U4-6,Data!B23:AF27,4,FALSE)/1000,HLOOKUP(U4-6,Data!B5:AF9,4,FALSE)/1000)) Thanks. -ep -- edwardpestian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edwardpestian's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33809 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=569742 |

Are the dates in the drop down full dates like 8/9/2006?
If so, replace: DATEVALUE("08/01/2006") With: U4-DAY(U4)+1 Biff "edwardpestian" wrote in message news:edwardpestian.2c96jv_1155093912.5036@excelfor um-nospam.com...

So I cannot use the year in U4 too? I tried this, but am getting a #NUM! error. =IF(U4-6<DATE(U4,U4,1),HLOOKUP(U4-6,Data!B23:AF27,4,FALSE)/1000,HLOOKUP(U4-6,Data!B5:AF9,4,FALSE)/1000) Regards, -ep -- edwardpestian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edwardpestian's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33809 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=569742 |

Try it like this:
DATE(YEAR(U4),MONTH(U4),1) I like this better: U4-DAY(U4)+1 Biff "edwardpestian" wrote in message news:edwardpestian.2c97pk_1155095411.8235@excelfor um-nospam.com...
