Test if day of month falls between two dates

I've been trying to relay a month-month formula in Excel 2013. Where if a Date value is inputted in a cell, another cell (with formula) would display "1st date of month-last date of month" i.e. - if A1 reads "4-1-19" A2 would read "4/1/19-4/30/19". 

if A1 reads "5-1-19" A2 would read "5/1/19-5/31/19" so forth and so on...

Is this even a function in Excel?

    Hi
    You can use one of 2 functions (EOMONTH or DATE) in combination with a TEXT function to set the formatting you want. Since the EOMONTH has been already provided, then here is the other one

    You can use the formula

    =TEXT(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1),"mm/dd/yy")&

    " - "&TEXT(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,0),"mm/dd/YY")

    Hope that helps
