Hi, XL is always looking for the opportunity to convert something to a date. In my region, where we use day, month, year, and with A1 containing the word 'July': =--(1&A1) XL reads this as the 1st day of July, then adds the current year as a default. It returns 40360, which if the cell is formatted as date, shows 1 July 2010 Interestingly, =--(A1&1) also works. XL reads this as July 2001, and provides a default day of 1, returning the same date as above. In either event, now that XL has been provided an actual date, we can apply the MONTH thingy, which then returns 7 Regards - Dave.
