If Statements to match a date

[shekala]

What would be the most direct way to determine if the date of a cell matches the month and date of another cell?
For example, cell A1 = 10/12/18 and I need an if statement to compare its date to a row showing various months and years - b1 = 10/17, c1 = 10/18, d1 = 10/19

Thus, need an If statement to return a result of c1.
Thanks

Is that what you ask for?

=if(and(month(A1)=month(c1),year(A1)=year(c1)),c1,false)

I don't get it, don't you need a hlookup? (which also make no sense to me since the value can me obtained by

=month(a1)&"/"&right(year(a1),2)

or =a1 and format as mm/yy)
