Formula Help
I'm trying to pull only the month from a date in cell A-1 and display it in
the adjacent cell. when using the formula =LEFT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-1) i am getting a # value! error. if i go through the solver macro, the formula is solving the date entered in cell A-1 as a number, rather than a date. A-1 is formatted to display a date. |

use
=MONTH(A1) A1 is held in date format (and internally as a number) so you cannot use your formula.
