I am trying to have a cell return a blank if no date is in the selected cell
for both Beginning of Month and End of the Month.

I DO NOT have the End of the Month correct. This just returns 1/31/1900
IF(ISERROR(EOMONTH(AE40,0),"",EOMONTH(AE40,0))


I think I have beginning of the month correct To return a blank if no value is in AE41
IF(AE41-DAY(AE41)=0,"",AE41-DAY(AE41)+1)

Thank you for your help.
 

Excel Facts

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
When EOMONTH evaluates an empty cell it returns the date 1/31/1900, not a error, so just check for the cell being empty, i.e.

=IF(AE40="","",EOMONTH(AE40,0))

You can get beginning of month with EOMONTH of the previous month +1, so

=IF(AE40="","",EOMONTH(AE40,-1)+1)

barry houdini - Thank you for your reply.
They work perfect.
I never thought of using the IF function, I was trying all other ways that were not working.

Thank you so very much for all of your help.
