Convert month to number and subtract one
I have a date in cell A1 of December 1, 2005. I do a =text(A1) and it
returns December. I want to now get November, October in other cells based off of the December cell. How can I subtract from December to get November? Thanks in advance |

I assume you have =TEXT(A1,"mmmm")
For November: =TEXT(DATE(1,MONTH(A1)-1,1),"mmmm") For October: =TEXT(DATE(1,MONTH(A1)-2,1),"mmmm") etc -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "Deeds" wrote in message ...
