IF formula for previous date

Jenna Bailey

I see a lot of "countifs" solving this which is great except I need a straight IF formula....

I am trying and failing to come up with a formula that tells me if something occurred the month previous.

For Example:

IF [Occurrence Date] was previous month, "Previous Month", ""

Hi @Jenna Bailey

Maybe you could use something like this:

=IF(MONTH([Date Column]@row)=MONTH(TODAY())-1, "Previous Month", "Not Previous Month")

Hope it helped.

Hi Jenna,

I made a video answering this question with some additional info and step by step instructions, you can see it at https://youtu.be/F9_NYwXa-eA.

Use this formula.

=IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - MONTH([Occurrence Date]@row) = 1, "Previous Month", "-")
