I'm rolling forward financials and have a budget number for the month on worksheet 3 in cell M1, so right now it's 7 for July. Is there a way I can have it change to 8 when I roll forward the financials? I would have the month name August on worksheet 1 cell D5.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Biglb79,
If Sheet1!D5 will always have the month you want to reference, you could use the following formula:
=MONTH(DATEVALUE(Sheet1!D5&" 1, 2017"))

Good luck,
CN.
