BOMONTH

Calculates the date in yyyy-mm-dd format of the first day of the month, a specified number of months before or after the specified date..

Syntax: BOMONTH(start_date, offset_in_months )

  • start_date in yyyy-mm-dd format

  • offset_in_months is the number of months before or after the start_date. If the number entered isn't an an integer, it's rounded up or down to the nearest integer.

Example: BOMONTH ( '2023-09-20' , 3) Output: 2023-12-01

Example: IF ( EQUALS ( BOMONTH ( today ( ) , 1.49 ) , '2023-10-01' ) , 500 , 0 ) Output: If today's date is Sep 19, 2023, the above expression will compute to 500
