exists.<\/p>\n<p>It is a great Excel function to use if you want to see when the month end date is from a current date&#8217;s value.<\/p>\n<p>So if you have sales reps who make a sale during the month and their commission is due to be paid at the end of the next month, the <strong>EOMONTH<\/strong> function will help you determine the total sales due.<\/p>\n<div
