Display First day of Any Given Month based on the month selected in another cell.

In, A1, I have drop down list of months from Jan. - Dec. , For Example April is selected from that list, in cell B1 it should display sth like
04-01-17 - (MM-DD-YY) First day of the month.

Hello @inflictedd,

in cell B1 you could write a Formula such as:

=DATEVALUE("1 " & A1 & " " & YEAR(TODAY()))

( make sure that the cell Format for cell B1 is set to Date Format: - “MM-DD-YY” )

it doesn’t seems to work

i think that the items in the dropdown list must be full month names, e.g. “January” “December” etc
