Unfortunately *Month Function* returns *Month Index ( 1 to 12 )* not *Month NAME* Assuming A1 containts date data : 12/31/2011 Formula in B1 =MONTH(A1) returns : *12* not *"December"*
In vba you can used MonthName Function Sub AboutMonth() Range("B1") = Month(Range("A1")) Range("C1") = *MonthName(Range("B1"))* End Sub In worksheet there is no MonthName function CMIIW On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 2:44 AM, Nishant Sharma <leonish...@gmail.com> wrote: *> Use Month formula > open excel and copy this in A1 > 04-04-2011 =month(A1) > Thanks > Nishant *> > On Sun, May 8, 2011 at 4:48 PM, Rajesh K R <rajeshkainikk...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Hi Experts >> If I want to get the name of month from dates >> 1/4/11 - April >> 5/5/11 - May >> >> how I can I do it with a formula or code >> >> Regards >> >> Rajesh Kainikkara -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
