Hello,

In a cell I would like to return last month, October. What is the formula
for this?

Thanks
Jim
 
Jim -

Depending on what you need...

This returns the last day of the month prior to the date you want
=(Today()-DAY(Today()))
If you format the cell with this formula as custom "mmmm", it will show you
the name of the month.

If you need the month number (as in a formula), then use this:
=Month(Today()-DAY(Today()))
which will return 10 for the 10th month, which is October.

Is either of these what you need?
