If I have the date 01-09-09 in cell A1, is there a formula that can produce the day before into a different cell? (01-08-09) And will this work for the beginning/end of each month? For example if the date is 02-01-09, will the formula come up with 01-31-09? Thanks!

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Wouldn't it just be this?

Hi

try this formula in cell B1

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),DAY(A1)-1)

This will work for beginning and end of each month
