Try this:

=TEXT(A1&"-1","mmm")

I have a master sheet in which date is stored in columns by month. Row 1 has
the year and row 2 has the month number (1 to 12).

There are presentation sheets that reference subsets of the master data and
on those sheets I would like to display a 3 char string for the month e.g.
'JAN' for month 1.

Any suggestions, please?
