Is there a better replacement for this formula?

Hello, I'm betting there is a better way to run this formula that references a block of dates by month, and returns the table rows based on the short date related to the selected month. In the example below, I have a dynamic array showcasing the rows of data from a table based on the month selected in the Orange data list. The data list looks at the month selected and references it to the starting date of that month. I then used EOMONTH to cross reference the table for anything less than, or equal to, the the associated month selected short date.

Here is the formula as it sits:
=FILTER(TROY,(TROY[Load Out Date]>=XLOOKUP($E$2,$A$2:$A$13,$B$2:$B$13))*(TROY[Load Out Date]<=EOMONTH(XLOOKUP($E$2,$A$2:$A$13,$B$2:$B$13),0)),"Currently No Events Scheduled")

The section of this formula that I believe can be simplified is:
(TROY[Load Out Date]>=XLOOKUP($E$2,$A$2:$A$13,$B$2:$B$13))*(TROY[Load Out Date]<=EOMONTH(XLOOKUP($E$2,$A$2:$A$13,$B$2:$B$13),0))

Is there a better way to extract the data by month instead of using this series of XLOOKUP references?
The "Month" & "Start" columns in the upper left only exist in order to work the XLOOKUP formula references. This can go away if that helps get a better solution.

Thanks!

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
You can streamline your existing approach ..
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(TROY,(TROY[Load Out Date]>=XLOOKUP($E$2,$A$2:$A$13,$B$2:$B$13))*(TROY[Load Out Date]<=EOMONTH(XLOOKUP($E$2,$A$2:$A$13,$B$2:$B$13),0)),"Currently No Events Scheduled")
.. a little by employing the LET function & ditching the absolute references.
Excel Formula:
=LET(XL,XLOOKUP(E2,A2:A13,B2:B13),LOD,TROY[Load Out Date],FILTER(TROY,(LOD>=XL)*(LOD<=EOMONTH(XL,0)),"Currently No Events Scheduled"))

If all your dates are in the same year then you could use this
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(TROY,TEXT(TROY[Load Out Date],"mmmm")=E2,"Currently No Events Scheduled")

If dates span multiple years than a modification would be needed. Post back with more details/sample if this is the case and you want more help.

Thanks Peter! I see what you mean about the year. If this document lives that long, I'll worry about it then. I told my colleague that, for what he is asking for in the overall document, he is getting into Sales Force or Power BI territory.
I didnt think to use LET like that.
Thanks again Peter, I really appreciate the help here. Have a great rest of your weekend! :)
