Hello,

Just seeing if I can get a little help. So I have a forecast formula =C2/DAY(TODAY())*31 The problem is it doesn't stop at the end of the month at the 31st, it will just keep calculating so the forecast will show some ridiculous number the day after the 31st. I hope this makes sense.

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
How about
=IF(DAY(TODAY())>31,"",C2/DAY(TODAY())*31)

Hope this helps

Looks like it is still pulling the super large number. I am thinking it could be cause of the (today) formula or something?

Is this designed to stop calculation when then end of the month comes? If so, you could use:

=IF(TODAY()>EOMOTH(TODAY(),0),"",........

Today will never be greater than the end of this month. ;)

Looking at this with fresh eyes, is the 31 the number of days of the month? Does this change to correspond to the number of days for a given month?
