Using Excel 2007, I need a formula to do the following:

if the date shown in a cell is 1/31/14, display 'monthly activity - january, or if the date shown is 2/31/14, display 'monthly activity - february ..... and so on for all 12 months.

Thank you in advance,
P

hotpeppermom, Good evening.

I'm not sure if I understood well your question.
Do you want this formula works always at the last day of month?

Try to use it:
Your date --> A1

C1 -->
=IF(DAY(A1)=DAY(EOMONTH(A1,0)),"monthly activity - " & TEXT(A1,"MMMM"),"")

Is it what you want?
I hope it helps.

Hi, and thank you. Yes, it will always be for the last day of the month. Also, where do I enter the formula on the sheet?

This is a snippit of what it looks like originally. Each spreadsheet is over 1000 rows, approx. 100 rows per month. Accounts are sorted by month.

I need something that will change it so that the information in column A is a result of the date that is on each row in column B.

hotpeppermom, Good evening.

"...Yes, it will always be for the last day of the month. Also, where do I enter the formula on the sheet? ..."
Put this formula at your first line of data and copy it down.
Probably C1 or C2

I did an example for you.

Thank you so very much! This is just what I needed to happen. I never would have gotten this on my own.
