If I have "LAX Marketing Jan 17 True Up", what is the formula that I can use to return the result as "Jan-17"?

I currently have
:"IFERROR(EOMONTH(DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,MAX(IFERROR(FIND({"Jan ","Feb ","Mar ","Apr ","May ","Jun ","Jul ","Aug ","Sep ","Oct ","Nov ","Dec "},A1),0)),6)," ","-")),0),"")"

but whenever I'd use the formula, it'd return as "Jan-18" instead of "Jan-17". What am I doing wrong?
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Try:
In your formula 17 is coming in as the day and not year.

The formula does work! But, what if I want it to be the end of the month, rather than the 1st of the month?

Hi,

If you don't mind the result will bei in text format :
=MID(A1,FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",{2,4}))+1,6)

Or in date format :

=DATE(2018,MONTH(MID(A1,FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",{2,4}))+1,6)),RIGHT(MID(A1,FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",{2,4}))+1,6),2))

What if the cell contains prior year? The formula returns the result as Jan 18 when I want it to pick up the year in the cell.

I thought that 17 is the day .... so just a month and a year ?

Text version : =TEXT(MID(A1,FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",{2,4}))+1,6),"mm/yy")
Date version: =DATEVALUE(MID(A1,FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",{2,4}))+1,6))

Yay! It worked! Thanks!

Now, what if on A2, the description is different from A1, but I want to use only one formula?

For an instance, A2 may have:

LAX Marketing True Up Through Feb 17


If I want Feb-17 (again, 17 being the year,) how would I mimic the formula?

I should have checked for other months. This is almost back to your original formula.
This is an array formula and must be entered with

CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

Or this one:-

Ctrl+Shift+Enter NOT just Enter

B1 =EOMONTH(MID(A1,MIN(IFERROR(0+(MID($A1,ROW($A$1:$A$100),1))*ROW($A$1:$A$100),100))-4,6),0)
