N/A mine is returning with 1
 

I have some formulas set up in a spreadsheet that other people will fill
progressively. In cells where the formula has no feeder' data to provide a
result it displays 1".

Cell A1= 1(month from B1) correct
Cell B1= 1/2/06

Here is the formula i am using in Cell A1

=Month(B1)

when i copied my formula down it does pick up the right month(1,2,3 etc)
however when i copied it down to where there were no dates the result for all
of them were 1. I do not want anything in that cell.

i hope i explained this right.

thanks

Trevor thanks - not sure if i am doing something wron when I use that formula
it does come back with nothing there however in that cell since I have a date
in b2 the result in a1 should be 1. If there was no date in b2 then the
result should be "blank" any other suggestions

thanks

You said:

Cell A1 = 1(month from B1) correct
Cell B1 = 1/2/06

Hence, the formula for cell A1 to cope with cell B1 being blank is:

=IF(B1="","",Month(B1))

If Cell A2 relates to cell B2, as I assume it does, then the formula for A2
would be:

=IF(B2="","",Month(B2))

And so on. You can AutoFill the formula down the column or just copy and
paste and the formula will adjust.

So:
A3 =IF(B3="","",Month(B3))
A4 =IF(B4="","",Month(B4))
A5 =IF(B5="","",Month(B5))

Maybe I have misunderstood what you are trying to achieve

Trevor
