Explanation

TODAY function: returns to the date of today.

EOMONTH function: gets the last day of month n months in future or past.

AND function: tests multiple conditions and returns TRUE or FALSE.

Here the formula is divided into two parts:

date>EOMONTH(TODAY(),-(6+1)) checks if the date is last 6 months from today;

date<=EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1) checks if the month of the date is equal to or later than today.

While both parts return TRUE, the whole formula returns TRUE, or it returns FALSE.
