Hi Guys and Gals,

Is there a formula that can make the value of any given cell always display the 1st day of the current month?

I am aware of the =NOW() function but I just need the cell to display the 1st day and hold that value up until the next 1st day of the next month

eg. 1 July

This cell must hold this value for the month.
Then at 00:00 on the 1st of August that same cell would automatically give a value of

1 Aug


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Sean.
