Month, Year Calculation Formula

Hariharan

For example if I get Month, Year Value as (1, 2023) i,e Jan 2023 using =MONTH(TODAY()) - 11 + ", " + YEAR(TODAY()) formula what is the formula we have to use to get Previous Month, Year Value (12, 2022) i,e Dec 2022.

You would use something along the lines of these:

Current month:

=MONTH(TODAY()) + ", " + YEAR(TODAY())

Previous Month:

=IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 1, 12, MONTH(TODAY()) - 1) + ", " + IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 1, YEAR(TODAY()) - 1, YEAR(TODAY()))

Hi @Hariharan

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this. (update/modify as needed)

=IF(Month@row <> "", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 1, "01 January", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 2, "02 February", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 3, "03 March", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 4, "04 April", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 5, "05 May", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 6, "06 June", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 7, "07 July", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 8, "08 August", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 9, "09 September", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 10, " 10 October", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 11, "11 November", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 12, "12 December")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
