Hello! I am attempting to make a monthly template which can be used for the next several years to track some data. My goal is to make this template in a fashion to self-update if a few key components are keyed in.
=IF(('Date Calculations'!$G$11)=3,"=DATE(O2,'Date Calculations'!G11,31")
This is the current function I am at which obviously displays "Date(O2,'Date Calculations'!G11,31" if the IF statement is true. I want it to display the Date Function's calculation if the IF statement is true.
I am using this function for the End Date of the Month so that I can change it with correspondence to the month which is being keyed in (since months have different amounts of days). If you look to the right of the picture I uploaded you can see yellow boxes to which is where someone would key in the information and the Table's Dates would automatically update. Is there a way to have the End Date of the last week of the month be updated to match the last day of whichever month is being used?
Essentially I think the overarching question is: Is it possible to use a function such as DATE as the conclusion to a true IF statement?

Hi Benjamin,
Sorry, but I didn't catch how it works, with sample file could be easier. Your formula like
=IF(A1=3,"=Date(2019,A1,31)")
returns text "=Date(2019,A1,31)" if number 3 is in A1, otherwise FALSE.
If you'd like to return the date that could be
=IF(A1=3,DATE(2019,A1,31))
or even better
=IF(A1=3,EOMONTH(DATE(2019,A1,1),0))
not to depend on number of days in the month
