I have a formula "=month(B2)+2" which works fine, but i have 2006 & 2007 data
next to eachother, SO...if I have 5/1/07 it responds with 7 instead of
19...whereas 5/1/06 returns 7 which is correct.

could I use an IF formula for this? the only thing is the IF formula only
allows 7 formulas where this might need 24; 1 for each month...

hi,
try something like this...
=IF(YEAR(NOW())=YEAR(A10),MONTH(A10),IF(YEAR(NOW() )-YEAR(A10)=1,MONTH(A10)+12,IF(YEAR(NOW())-YEAR(A10)=2,MONTH(A10)+24)))
you can string it out for 7 years.
change cell references to fit your data.

=12*(YEAR(B2)-2006)+MONTH(B2)+2
