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.

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
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.
