The consumption_month column comes in as Dec 4, 2011 in stead of a month prior to invoice_date. In the example above it should read Dec 4, 2004. If I knew how to upload the test spreadsheet, I would. Anyway off to the right are my attempts to correct it.

The three columns all the way to the right contain the following formulas:

The "Correct Date" formula works, but I was curious if there is a much simpler formula or simple vba that would do the trick?
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Sorry one more thing: The first column "A" is not showing so consumption_month is column B and Invoice_date is column C.
