As a guess you want the month formula.
=month(A1)
Where A1 has the date in it. That will return a number from 1 to 12 which
defines the month.

In a field, I have the date 1/1/2008, but I only want to know that is was

This is being used when comparing previous years sales activities. So if I
got the order in Jan 15, 2008 for my annual product, then I would expect my
new order to come in Jan 2009 (but not necesarily on the 15th).

Any ideas?
