Just to add another variation to the answers already received from Bernie
and Niek, you could just format cell D2 (and the rest of the column if
required) as

Format CellsNumberCustom mmmyy

I am trying to show 12 month names from dates, but can show only 8 since if
statments can be nested 7 times.
Eg of my data and formula:
=IF(MONTH(D2)=10,"Oct04",IF(MONTH(D2)=11,"Nov04",I F(MONTH(D2)=1,"Jan05",IF(MONTH(D2)=2,"Feb05",IF(MO NTH(D2)=3,"Mar05",IF(MONTH(D2)=12,"Dec04",IF(MONTH (D2)=4,"Apr05")))))))
I need to join the if statment to show the rest of the months.
Thanks.
