    Date(Year([Event Date]),Month([Event Date]),1) 

    This is calculating the first day of the month of the EventDate in date format. For example, if the EventDate is 12-Jun-2019, then this formula is converting it to 1-Jun-2019

     

    Date(Year(Today()),Month(Today()),1)

    This formula is checking today's date and then calculating the first day of the month (same as logic above)

     

    So essentially I am first converting the EventDate and Today's date to first of the month and then applied the condition you had mentioned.

     

    FORMAT([Event Date],"MMM-YYYY"

    This formula is converting the date into the required format.

     

    Hope this answers your query.

     

    Thanks,

    Vivek
