If you must use your formula, then:

=CHOOSE(MONTH(IF(LEFT(CELL("format",A3),1)="D",A3, DATE(LEFT(A3,4),MID(A3,5,2),RIGHT(A3,2)))),"jan"," feb","mar","apr","may","jul","aug","sep","oct","no v","dec")


but easier is:

=IF(LEFT(CELL("format",A3),1)="D",A3,DATE(LEFT(A3, 4),MID(A3,5,2),RIGHT(A3,2)))

and format the cell with the formula as Custom "mmmm"

The Poster's formula is quite interesting. It never occured to me to test
for "fake" dates by using the CELL() function.

Just a thought might be to ignore the Year and Day.

=IF(LEFT(CELL("format",A3),1)="D",A3,DATE(2000,MID (A3,5,2),1))
