Default Is there a function in excel where you can the beginning of the mo

I am trying to look for a function that would will display the first of the
month if the cell I am referencing is a date in that month.

For instance: I have a date that says 12/16/09 I want the function/formula
to return 12/1/09.

Is this possible?

I cant seem to find it anywhere.

This will return the 1st of the month for the date entered in cell A1:

=A1-DAY(A1)+1

Assuming you date is in A1

=Date(Year(A1),Month(A1),1)
