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"))))))))))))
