Using the Excel EOMONTH Function

Summary
EOMONTH is an Excel function that returns the last date of the month that is N months before or after the indicated start date. The day is returned as a serial number, but can be formatted in a user friendly date format. The EOMONTH function is helpful when calculating payments that occur on the last day of the month. It's also useful with other functions, such as WORKDAY, that require the last day of the month for other calculations.Syntax
