My own fiscal year

[obc1126]

Is there a way to define my own fiscal year that was different form the
normal calendar?I wanted the month to automatically appear when i enter the
date. I know we can make use of the date function for a normal date, is there
any formula or codes that i can define my own fiscal year?

Here's the list of my fiscal year ;

From 10/19/08 to 11/22/08 Nov
From 11/23/08 to 12/27/08 Dec

Hi,

Just sort properly your dates, and use your table as the reference
table of your lookup() function ...

How to sort out the dates? How should i define the start date and the end
date? The start sate & end sate should be in the same cell or different cell?

I strongly suggest using separate cells. Set it up in columns, like

A B C
Start End Fiscal Month
1/25/09 2/21/09 Feb
10/19/08 11/22/08 Nov

Then you can use formulas to determine the Fiscal Month, based on if a
given date falls between Start and End.

How to do comparison based on dates?

Will this work?
If date>=columnA & <=columnB
Then WorkMonth=columnC

Can somebody show me how to write the code?

Thanks!!
