=DATEVALUE
 

In A1 I have (formatted in text with a list of all months) the month of
January is spelled out for this example.

In A2 I have the following formula: =DATEVALUE(A$1&" 1")

And then I have: =A2+1, A3+1, etc all the way down to the 31st of the month.

Ultimately the rest of the sheet will be used with vlookups to bring in data.

The help I need is when we are going into short months like February. How
can I get the last three days of the month to be blank if it does not match
the month selected in the list (A1)?

Thanks

=DATEVALUE
 

You can embed the datevalue function inside an IF:
=if(month(datevalue(A$1&" 29"))=month(A$2),datevalue(A$1&" 29"),"")
BTW, you could save yourself some typing by using =datevalue(A$1 & row()-1)
and autofill.

Cummulative/Actual

=DATEVALUE
 

Thanks for the help, so how do I use the solutions you provided?

I noticed the formula has 29. Is this formula good only for February? How
do I use it for the rest of the year?

Also, how do I use the one that saves me typing? Do I use it with the first
solution you provided, or separately?

Thanks

You could use the 29, and similar functions for 30 and 31, for ANY month.
Just replace the functions you've got now for the 29th, 30th and 31st.
As for saving the typing, it can be even easier:
In A2: =datevalue(a$1 & 1).
In A3: =a2+1
Autofill A3 down through A29 (the 28th of the month).
In A30: =IF(MONTH(A27+3)=MONTH(A$2),A27+3,"")
Autofill A30 down through A32.
