Here is a handy trick to calculate last day of any month.
Assuming y and m contain the year & month for which you want to find the last day’s date, write
=DATE(y, m+1,0)
That is right, you can use ZERO (0) as the day.
When you do this, Excel tells us the last day of previous month.
How to calculate last day if I have a date in that month:
Instead of year and month, if you know a date & you want to find what is the last date… then use:
=EOMONTH(date, 0)
How to calculate the last working day of a month?
If you just care about working days.. then use:
=WORKDAY(DATE(y,m+1,1), -1)
This will give us the last working day of a month.
Dealing with holidays:
Very simple. Pass on a list of holidays to WORKDAY as last parameter. Like this:
=WORKDAY(DATE(y,m+1,1), -1, F1:F20)
This assumes, F1:F20 has a list of holiday dates.
Dealing with different weekend types:
Not everyone observes Saturday & Sunday as weekend. For example, I do not work on Tuesdays. You might have Sunday thru Thursday work week. If so,
use WORKDAY.INTL function, like this:
=WORKDAY.INTL(DATE(y,m+1,1), -1, 7)
Weekend type 7 is for Friday & Saturday weekend.

As well as the Indian version, perhaps you could look into an English version as against the American version.
Things diverge after one hundred with one hundred one OR one hundred AND one.
I'm sure that it is always AND after n00 or n00,000 where there any of those zeros have a value. So five hundred thousand and sixteen. There could be two and's seven hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred and twenty-six.
Chandoo, you are a genius.
Hi Chandoo,
Please take a look at my NumToWords and NumToDollars formulas that I shared here:
