Date formula question
Hi everyone and thanks in advance for any help you can offer. One of you guys
always seems to have the answer I need. I am using XP Pro and Office Pro 2003. I have built an invoice and column A is formatted for dates. The date of the activity is entered in column A, the activity description in column B and the amount of the charge in column C. The dates are normally not within the same month (i.e. 11/05/08, 01/15/09, 02/03/09.) The bottom cell in column A for the invoice is A35. I need a formula for A35 that will look at the column entries above A35, look at the last entry made (in this case 02/03/09) and then return an answer of 02/28/09. In other words I want the answer to be the last day of the month of the latest month entered above. Clear as mud?? :) Anyhow, if I've explained myself properly and you can offer some help I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks, Jim |

A great question!
In A35 enter: =DATE(YEAR(LOOKUP(99^99,A1:A34)),MONTH(LOOKUP(99^9 9,A1:A34))+1,0) -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200842 "Jim Peterson" wrote: Hi everyone and thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
