Hello: I need a sub to input last month's date into a column of data and then hard code the date. The only solution I came up with is below, but I'm wondering why it's not creating a circular reference. Thank you! I'm sure it has something to do with equivalency, but I'm still new!

Code:
Sub temp()   
    Dim i As Long
    For i = 2 To 4
        Cells(i, 2).Formula = "=EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)"
        Cells(i, 2).Value = Cells(i, 2).Value
    Next i


End Sub
 

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.
There is no circular reference because the formula does not use the same cell in the calculation.

It can also be like this:

Code:
Sub temp2()
  With Range("B2:B4")
    .Formula = "=EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)"
    .Value = .Value
  End With
End Sub

It can be done even more directly
Code:
Sub temp3()
  Range("B2:B4").Value = Date - Day(Date)
End Sub

End Sub

If the range is really fixed and non-changing, this can be shortened to this...
Code:
Sub temp3()
  [B2:B4] = Date - Day(Date)
End Sub
