I need a cell that will pull the previous month in this format yyyymm.<br />
For instance, this is July, so I need the cell to populate 201606 (june 2016)<br />
August should be 201607<br />
<br />
Also, I need a rolling 12 month also, so if the result is 201607, I need another cell to populate 201508<br />
<br />
Can anyone help??
