Help Converting Date to Period

[jimbolove]

Hi, can anyone offer assistance in changing the date to show as a Period. What I'd like to show is between 5/16 and 6/15 would be period 5. And then 6/16 to 7/15 would be Period 6 and so on it should be pretty easy to do I'm hoping.

Try this:
[tab][COLOR=blue white]=IF(DAY(A1)<=15,MONTH(A1),MONTH(A1)+1)[/color]

where A1 contains your date.

John,

What happens between Dec 16 and year end?
[tt]
=IF(DAY(A1)<=15,MONTH(A1),MONTH(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)))
[/tt]

I was tired. Work's been hectic. I wasn't concentrating.... The sun was in my eyes.

Sorry, jimbolove. My offering was unnecessarily complex and wrong on two counts.

[ul][li]For 5/16-6/15 it would give you 6, not 5 as you requested[/li]
[ul][li]I managed to confuse Skip ([small][gray]woo hoo[/gray][/small]) - his formula also has this flaw[/li][/ul]
[li]Also, as Skip pointed out, it would give you 13 at the end of the year, and that just doesn't make any sense at all[/li][/ul]

Go with combo's suggestion. It's short and sweet.

I'm confounded & curmudgeonly!

Skip,
no, I'm not. I'm either short or sweet. And I do not suggest anything!
