Post Body

I have to pull date and time data that is given in the following format.

2023-04-01 04:18:32

If the time is before 6:00:00 AM, the data and date need to be converted to the day before. Currently this formula works, except when the day is the first of the month.

=IF(HOUR(D2)<6,MONTH(D2)&"/"&DAY(D2)-1,MONTH(D2)&"/"&DAY(D2))

When the day is the first of the month before 6am, it returns month/0 instead of last month/last day. This is a problem for future functions because I need a matching day to run reports and record the data based on the day.

I currently have to manually change those dates between 12am and 6am, to the previous day. This seems inefficient and like something that I might be able to work around with a different function(s)
