Current Month and Previous Month
Hello!
Looking for some quick help with a couple of formulas.
I currently have monthly columns (Jan - Dec) that are updated with data every month. I'm looking to make a [Current Month] column and a [Previous Month] column to display the data respectively. These will be used for charts on reporting dashboards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke

Hi Luke,
You can use the MONTH function. Here's how the formula may look for you:
For current:
=IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 1, Jan@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 2, Feb@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 3, Mar@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 4, Apr@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 5, May@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 6, Jun@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 7, Jul@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 8, Aug@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 9, Sep@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 10, Oct@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 11, Nov@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 12, Dec@row, ""))))))))))))
For previous:
=IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 1, Jan@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 2, Feb@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 3, Mar@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 4, Apr@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 5, May@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 6, Jun@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 7, Jul@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 8, Aug@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 9, Sep@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 10, Oct@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 11, Nov@row, IF(MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 = 12, Dec@row, ""))))))))))))
Hope this helps!

Heather
