Dates

Hello,

I would like to be able to add a field that shows the name of the month that a date in the previous column relates to. i.e. in column C it says '12/03/2011' and I would like to put a formula in row D that says 'March' - is such a thing possible?

Thank you.

RE: Dates

Hi Alix, thanks for your query. This is simpler than you might think. First of all, if C1 says '12/03/2011', then in D1 put "=C1".

Then select C1, r-click Format Cells, choose the Number tab, then Custom and type "mmmm" into the Type: field. That should do the trick!

Hope this helps,

Anthony
