Return 1st Day of Month for a Date
I am trying to avoid complex formulas however have not found a better work around.
Objective: Column/Cell includes a Date, I would like a second column cell to return the Month for that cell
Example:
Column: Invoice | Column: SchedMos
May 15, 2016 | May 1, 2016 =Mos(Invoice1)
June 22, 2017 | June 1, 2017
I am familiar with the @Month and @Year formulas and can create three new columns (one for Month, one for Year and a third with a formula) to try to get to the outcome I need, however the formula becomes extremely long with IF, then (12 per year).
Any ideas? I might have missed something

Wanda,
To confirm, you want the first day of the month for any date provided?
Assuming column is Invoice and row is 23:
=DATE(YEAR(Invoice23),MONTH(Invoice23),1)
Cheers,
Craig
