Is there a formula that will return only the month from a date?
I have a column with dates. I want to put a cell with a formula beside each
date that will return the month. I know I can do this with formatting but I want to use the "month" column in a pivot that will let me sort my data by month. When I just return the date value and change the formatting to show as month, the pivot still reads the "month" cells as a day. |

Use formula = month(A1)

If you want the month name:
Short name format: Jan =TEXT(A1,"ddd") Long name format: January =TEXT(A1,"dddd") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "birdgirl31" wrote in message ... I have a column with dates.

Ooops!
Short name format: Jan =TEXT(A1,"ddd") Long name format: January =TEXT(A1,"dddd") Those formulas will return the weekday. These are the correct formulas: =TEXT(A1,"mmm") =TEXT(A1,"mmmm") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T. Valko" wrote in message ...
