And what do you want as the date result? The first of the month? the end of
the month? The current year? or some other year?

Regards,
Fred.

In A2: =TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH($A$1&1),ROW(A1)),"m/d/yyyy")

Try this:

A1 = month name as a TEXT entry: February

Enter this formula in A2:

=IF(A1="",TODAY()-DAY(NOW())+1,--("1-"&A1))

Format as DATE

Enter this formula in A3 and copy down to A32:

=IF(MONTH(A$2+ROWS(A$3:A3))=MONTH(A$2),A$2+ROWS(A$ 3:A3),"")

Format as DATE

These formulas will return the dates for the month entered in A1 of the
*current year*.

I never thought that such as simple question could turn out to be so
hard. It must be how i am describing it.

In cell A1 I want to enter a month, i guess i will have to also put a
year, not sure how i would ebnter that but am open to suggestions.
Then in the subsequent 31 cells below a1, i wish the dates to be put.
I would like format for date to be Tuesday 1st April. I dont need the
year, but realise I will have to have that there to tell what day of
the week it is.

eg:

April
Tuesday 1st April
Wednesday 2nd April
Thiursday 3rd April
,,,
,,,
,,,
,,,
Thuirsday, 30 April

I realise only 30 days in April and not 31, but can manually delete
unrequired dates

Does that make sense now?

Sorry about confusion.

Esra
TIA

Hi,

Just for the hell of it:

in cell A2: =DATEVALUE("1-"&IF(A1="",MONTH(NOW()),A1))

in cell A3: =IF(DAY(IF(A2="",0,A2)+1)DAY(A$2),A2+1,"")

Drag A3 down to A32.

Cheers,
Ivan.

Hi Again,

Actually even shorter would be:

in Cell A2: =--("1-"&IF(A1="",MONTH(NOW()),A1))

That double minus sign's a nifty trick Biff! You learn something new
each day!

Cheers, and thanks again Biff.
Ivan.
