=IF(B37=DATE(2007,01,01),B37,[your formula])

This tests if the date in B37 is Jan 1, 2007. If you need to test for ANY
date between Jan 1 2007 AND Jan 31 2007 inclusive, you should change the test
to something like =IF(MONTH(B37)=1,B37,[your formula])

I have a formula
=DATE(YEAR(B37)+F39,MONTH(B37-1),DAY(B37-1))
This is to calculate yearly contract dates, # of years and start date are
entered.

this works until I enter a date in Jan 2007, it will give me an end date of
12/2008. I neet to do an IF function to tell excel not to change the date if
Jan 07 is used.
