month function
 

Is there a way to use the month function so that if 12 is inputed, December
will be the output? Rather than the reverse. I tried

=Month(12)

but that doesn't return December. Could you help me please?! Thanks!

Assuming the "month" numbers are input in C1 down,
you could use something like this in say, D1, copied down:
=IF(OR(C1="",C112),"",VLOOKUP(C1,{1,"January";2," February";3,"March";4,"April";5,"May";6,"June";7," July";8,"August";9,"September";10,"October";11,"No vember";12,"December"},2,0))

You could use the formula =month(1900,12,1) then do a custom format on the
cells with the formula of mmmm. That works for me.

This should work...

=TEXT(28*A1,"mmmm")

where A1 contains your month number; of course, you could use the number, or
a calculation that results in the number, directly...

=TEXT(28*12,"mmmm")

As it turns out, you can save the function call and just use this...

=28*A1

where A1 contains the month number, or you can use this..

=28*12

where you would use whatever the number is in place of the 12, then use your
'mmmm' custom format.

That is very clever. Good job!

Thanks. As it turns out, you can use either 28, 29 or 30 for the multiplier
constant.

Just to point out, you can use either 28, 29 or 30 for the multiplier
constant... your choice.

Although answered, another way of going about it is to use the choose
function

=choose(A1, "Jan", "Feb", "Mar",etc...) Therefore, if a 12 is
entered, the formula will look to the 12th label within and result in
Dec
