What formula to use if you want to make reference to 2 cells;
example: If year A1 equal to B10 the maximum value it can have is 2
 
I am sure there is a way. What kind of information is in A1? Is it a date
or just the year? Is B10 always going to be the cell you compare too? And
what do you want to do if the A1<>B10?
 
the month and year is A1 . I was a formula to say if A1 equal to B10 1( in
this case if A1 and B10 are the same month it should be 1 or less.
 
If both A1 and B10 are in date formats try this formula. Change the values
you want accordingly//In the below example if both months are same it will
return 1 and if not 2. Adjust as required.

=IF(Month(A1)=Month(B10),1,2)
 
Do you mean

=IF(Month(A1)=Month(B10),1,0)

If not post back with what value you are expecting..if the month is not same..

If this post helps click Yes
 
For example in the below if month(A1) and month(B1) has a difference of 5
what is expected.

=IF(Month(A1)=Month(B10),1,0)
 
I say your other post...Is this what you are looking for ?

=IF(Month(B2)=Month(D10),1,D11+D12-D13)

maybe I am not explaining correctly. The formula is not working. I am
trying to copy what I have and paste it in the message box, but it is not
pasting correctly.
 
I will explain what the formula does and from there you should be able to
take up...

The IF condition in the formula If( a condition, value to return if
condition is true, value to return if condition is false)

Month is a function to return month from a date cell
So here we are comparing the month of B2 with that of D10. If both are same
we are returning the value as 1 which I think is what you require.
If the month is not same then we are taking the minimum of 1 and
d11+d12+d13. I am not sure what this calculation is . If you look at your
previous replies and even your original query you have not mentioned the
condition at all. I got this D11+D12-D13 from your other post...


=IF(Month(B2)=Month(D10),1,MIN(1,D11+D12-D13))

Jacob, I typed below in bracket next to the questions you asked. I am trying
hard to explain.

Month is a function to return month from a date cell
