Does anyone know how to have excel look at a cell that has a date that is
formatted as xx/xx/xxxx (E.g. Cell A2 = 01/16/2007) and show the date as
01/01/2007 in B2, another words view as date as first day of the month.

In B2:

=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),1)

B2: =A2-DAY(A2)+1

Hi,

You may also try this

=EOMONTH(F7,-1)+1

You may need to install the analysis Toolpak for the eomonth function to
work
