How to add more than 7 if nested statements. 7 is the limit.
 

I am trying to show 12 month names from dates, but can show only 8 since if
statments can be nested 7 times.
Eg of my data and formula:
=IF(MONTH(D2)=10,"Oct04",IF(MONTH(D2)=11,"Nov04",I F(MONTH(D2)=1,"Jan05",IF(MONTH(D2)=2,"Feb05",IF(MO NTH(D2)=3,"Mar05",IF(MONTH(D2)=12,"Dec04",IF(MONTH (D2)=4,"Apr05")))))))
I need to join the if statment to show the rest of the months.
Thanks.
RRS.

RRS,

=TEXT(D2,"mmmyy")

=TEXT(A1,"mmm")&"04"

but probably this suits you better:

=TEXT(A1,"mmm")&TEXT(A1,"yy")

Hi,

One possibility:
Create a helper list in two columns (say X1:X12, Y1:Y12) and populate them
with numbers and month/year-info (1 in X1 and Jan-05 in Y1,......10 in X10
and Oct-04 in Y10,...12 in X12 and Dec-04 in Y12). Now use the formula in,
say E2,

=VLOOKUP(MONTH(D2),$X$1:$Y$12,2)

Just to add another variation to the answers already received from Bernie
and Niek, you could just format cell D2 (and the rest of the column if
required) as

Format CellsNumberCustom mmmyy

Thanks Niek

If only I could think that way always!!!
I usually use the sledgehammer.

Since we are giving you all sorts of solutions, I thought I'd throw out
another:

=CHOOSE(MONTH(D2),"Jan05","Feb05","Mar05","Apr05", ...,etc)
