How to Use REGEXMATCH for Highlighting the Current Month?

AI Thread Summary
To highlight the current month in Excel using REGEXMATCH, the existing formula checks for "May" but needs to be modified for dynamic cell lookup. A suggested approach is to replace "May" with a formula that retrieves the current month's name based on the current date. The provided lengthy formula uses nested IF statements to return the month's name corresponding to the current month number. This can be applied to highlight cells in columns B and C. The discussion concludes with a reference to a resource for further guidance on highlighting the current month in Excel.

Current Formula =IF(REGEXMATCH(B1,"May"), 1, 0)
Problem: I am trying to find a way to replace "May" with a cell lookup.
Goal: Highlight any cell with current month (in this case, May) in B:B or C:C (if I need 2 formulas, that is fine)
Extra info:
Cell lookup: =IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=1,"January",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=2,"February",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=3,"March",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=4,"April",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=5,"May",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=6,"June",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=7,"July",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=8,"August",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=9,"September",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=10,"October",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=11,"December",IF((MONTH(TODAY()))=12,"May"))))))))))))

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?"

Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
