# EOMONTH
The EOMONTH function takes the date as input and returns the ending date of the month. Node references and measures are also accepted as input arguments. Use [DATE.SET()](https://docs.inforiver.com/~/changes/mS6jwvARNLHpKqBa4cT9/formula-syntax/date-functions/date.set) to set the format of the output date.
Optionally, you can specify an offset for the return date, which may be a positive or negative number. Additional months are added to or subtracted from the end date depending on the offset value.
## Syntax

EOMONTH(date)

```
## Arguments
