Return 1st Day of Month for a Date
Wanda T
✭
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@Monthand@Yearformulas 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

J. Craig Williams ✭✭✭✭✭✭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

Ok, I found it. Classic case of submit something for help, then find the answer. I think what may have happened previously, is that I turned on all the filters, but since there isn't one for a Deleted Row, maybe the Deleted Row was hidden. When I came back, I didn't click anything on the filters for the Activity Log and when scrolling through looking for the 'magic' delete word, I found the record I was looking for.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":447,"urlcode":"activity-log","name":"Activity Log"}]},{"discussionID":108819,"type":"question","name":"Fill in a cell based on another cell's value?","excerpt":"Hello, I'm tracking participation of a program on my sheet as a \"participation %\" column.
