First and Last Day of the months formula

Hi everyone I need help with finding a formula that will take the 3 bottom months in chart one and have the formula put the first date of the month and the last day and put that into the correct periods in chart 3(chart 1 order goes from top to bottom current, Period 3,2,1). The formula needs to be able to change the dates if the months changes in chart 1. I hope this makes since and if it doesn't let me know what I can explain better thanks.

        How can we know which month corresponds to which number if it isn't simply the month number (January=1, etc.)?
