Hi Mussa

I suggest you use Excel's EOMONTH (end of month) function. That always returns the last day of a calendar month, a number of months from a start date (its first argument).

If your report is published within 10 calendar days of month end, put this in a worksheet cell:

=EOMONTH(NOW()-10,0)

and it will give the number equating to 31 Aug (on today 06 Sept). The second argument (here 0) is the number of months plus or minus from the first (date). It will give the same result if the publish date is between the 11th of one month and 10th of the next month. 

In VBA, when creating your filename, replace the Date part with:

Application.WorksheetFunction.EOMONTH(Date-10, 0)

Hope this makes sense and works for you.
