ROW()
Hi,
Can anyone help please. I have the following straightforward formula in a spreadsheet. =IF(MONTH(C2)=G1,ROW(),"") For some reason it doesnt return the row number when the months are the same. What am I missing? thanks in advance for the help Rgds Paul |
ROW()
Perhaps g1 should be absolute $g$1

ROW()
Don,
that doesnt appear to have made any differenct, it still returns blank when i want it to return the column number. Thanks anyway.

ROW()
Clearly the month value of the date in C2 does not equal the value in G1.
What does =MONTH(C2)=G1 return? Is it TRUE or FALSE Tell us more about the values in C2 and in G1 best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "phocused" wrote in message ...

ROW()
Bernard,
I was working through a previous post on this forum. The post in question used the letter "Y" to trigger a formula that copied the data to another sheet. I was trying to do the same thing but using an end date as the trigger, hence the comparison between the dates.

D contains the "Y" for the old way of doing it. E2 contains the formula above. Columns G and C are formated as Date.

ROW()
Bernard, forgot to say. If the condition is true (the months are the same)
then show the Row number else dont show anything. At the moment it shows nothing. If i reverse the condition it reveals the row number but it reveals it on any condition.

ROW()
Sloth,
I cant believe its that simple. I have other formulas that dont have the month in the same way and work fine. How odd. Big thanks Non the less.

ROW()
I can see nothing ODD. How would you expect Excel to interpret MONTH(C2) =
G1 ? It must mean: extract the month from the date value in C2 and compare the result to the value in G1.It can mean nothing else! After all, you might have entered a simple number like 1 in G1, and wanted to compare MONTH(C2) to this value best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "phocused" wrote in message ...

Bernard,
ODD in that my formula works elswhere but not in this case. Don, thanks for the assist and i will try to be clearer next time.
