Is there an excel function for the previous year?
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
There is another way I could solve this. I have this code
Code:
    With Workbooks(newDoc)
        .Sheets("July " & Range("E18")).Name = "July " & Year(Now) + 1

E18 has the current year and when I created it, last year, it all worked but the button will be clicked at the end of the financial year, which is this year, so I need a way to make the year in E18 to be the previous year. I could change the formula in E18 to reflect the previous year, which I don't know how to do or I could update the code in vba, probably the above line, to reflect the previous year, which I also don't know how to do. Could someone help me please?

I somehow need to make Range("E18") the previous year but I don't know the syntax. I was thinking Range("E18")-1 but that won't work.
