Date Function

[Gos-C]

Hi,

I have *=DATE(2006,1,1)* in cell B5 (with custom format mmm yyyy) and
entered *=DATE(YEAR(B5),MONTH(B5),1)* in cell A7 (with custom format
d). Then I entered
*=IF(DATE(YEAR(B5),MONTH(B5),DAY(A7)+1)>DATE(YEAR(B5),MONTH(B5)+1,0),"",DATE(YEAR(B5),MONTH(B5),DAY(A7)+1))*
in cell A8 (with custom format d),which I want to copy down the next
twenty-nine cells (also with custom format d), but it is giving the
error #NUM! What have I done wrong?

Thanks,
Gos-C

You don't mention what is in B6, but since you are using relative reference
for B5, if B6 were a negative number, you could get a #num error when you
copy down. You probably want to make B6 absolute ($B$6).

Thanks, Kevin. The problem was not related to relative cell reference
(even though I had to make cell B5 absolute when copying the formula
down). Cell B6 had Page 1. I used the same formula on a new sheet and
everything worked.

Glad you got it working.
