Hello All:

I have the following date add function in Excel. It is set too read the previous month. Question how would I alter this too read the current month?? Would it be ("m", 1, Date) or ("m", 0, Date)??

(DateAdd("m", -1, Date), "MMM YYYY")

Any help would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
it seems you're just returning a text variation of a date, given you don't want to add to current date why not just use

FORMAT(date,"MMM YYYY")

Thanks for your reply. I'll take your suggestion. It's most likely what I should be doing.
