    Re: Start of the month

    You're going to have to elaborate. You want the spreadsheet to display certain text if you open it on the first of the month? Or you have a list of dates and you want text besides each first of the month? Or... ?

    set =IF(AND(DAY(TODAY())=19,DAY(TODAY())=1),"HEY HI","")

    else if you have a list of dates you can simply check using if

    It could have been better to understand if you provide column heading

    =IF(OR(DAY(E19)=19,DAY(E19)=1),"Record","")

    = Vlookup(Record, array that contains record, array of data to be recorded)

    Re: Start of the month

    See if this works for you.

    Change the 19 to 21(todays date) to see how this works.

    =IF(OR(DAY(TODAY())=19,DAY(TODAY())=1),"Record","")

    Do you mean?

    In one Column>>>>>=IF(DAY(TODAY())=21,"Record","")

    In Second Column>>>>>=IF(DAY(TODAY())=1,"Record","")

    Normally, we have to wait until Tomorrow to be sure 100%, that my way, works for you.

    But in the meantime take a look to the example and study this.

    In this way of formula, you have to handle The Circular reference. See, how, here.
