dates formula

[Jerry Kinder]

Col A is Jan, Col B is Feb, etc. to Dec.

in A2 is 1 Jan in B2 is 1 Feb and so on.

I want to drag down from row 2 to 32 but want each month to stop displaying
dates when the end of each Month comes. Jan has 31 days and Feb has 28 so
Feb will display nothing in the last few cells not start with March.

I use =A2+1 in A3 etc. across the top and drag all columns down at one time
so I do not have to do each column one at a time.
Thanks,
JK

Select the range A3:L32
Format/Conditional Formatting
Formula Is: =MONTH(A3)<>MONTH(A$2)
(note the "$" in the last function)
Format/Font Color "White"
OK/OK

One way:

In A2 (formula on one line)

=IF(ROW()-ROW(A$2)+1>DAY(DATE(2005,COLUMN()-
COLUMN($A2)+2,0)),"",ROW()-ROW(A$2)+1&" "&A$1)

Copy A2 to B2:L2 with the fill handle (the little square in the lower right
corner of the cell)
Copy A2:L2 to A32:L32 with the fill handle.

If you want to get rid of the formulae, then, while A2:L32 is
selected, do a Copy (<Ctrl>c), select Edit > Paste special
and choose "Values", OK.
Finish with <Esc> and clicking a cell.

Put this formula into A2 & then copy to all your cells
--requires the Analysis Toolpak add-in

=(ROW(A2)-1)*((ROW(A2)-1)<=DAY(EOMONTH(DATEVALUE(A$1&" 1, 2005"),0)))

Hi Ron,
Sorry I get nothing from this. I do not understand how this works.

Hi Duke,

I guess I do not have the toolpak because this did not work. Thanks,

To understand how it works, look up Conditional Formatting in HELP.

The Conditional Formatting is turning the Font white (or whatever your
background color is) so that dates that are not in the same month are not
displayed -- which is what you requested.

To get to the Conditional Formatting option, if you look on the top menu bar,
you should see a menu item called "Format". If you click on that, in the
drop-down menu you should see an item called "Conditional Formatting". The
remainder of my instructions should be clear (I think).

But if you still do not understand the instructions I posted, let us know
exactly what you tried to do, and what happened when you tried it.
