This works with regional date settings of U.S. English:
=TEXT(A1&"-1","mmmm yyyy") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Jacob Skaria" wrote in message ... =TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),A1,1),"mmmm yyyy") If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "yclhk" wrote: How to convert the month in number to the month in text ?

=TEXT(A1&"-1","mmmm yyyy") If you use regional date settings of the format: d/m/y then it would stand to reason that reversing the cell ref and the 1 should work: =TEXT("1-"&A1,"mmmm yyyy") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T.

Well Check out this formula......
I belive, it should be sufficient...... First custmosize the B1 to format(custom) in that have it as mmmm yyyy Then put the formula in B1 as =Date(2009,A1+1,0) Well it will return as Feburary 2009, Now I hope that is helpful and simple.... And if you ask me why I have taken "A1+1" the i am not aware but it works that way..... "yclhk" wrote: How to convert the month in number to the month in text ?

Hi, K****ij,
Actually, i wish to know how does the Date & Text function work in the formula ? Why "A1+1" in your formulae and "1-"&A1 in Valko formulae ?

=TEXT(A1&"-1","mmmm yyyy")
=TEXT("1-"&A1,"mmmm yyyy") Depending on your regional date settings Excel will interpret an entry like 1-2 or 2-1 as a valid date of the current year. For examle, with my regional date settings as U.S. English, if I type in cell A1 2-1 Excel automatically evaaluates that as a date and displays 1-Feb. Basically, in the formula we're just taking advantage of Excel's eagerness to identify dates! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "yclhk" wrote in message ...
