Does anoyone know how to do the reverse. Convert month number to text.

Ex: 1 = Jan, 2= Feb

Is there a function to convert the text name of a month (e.g., "April") to
its corresponding number (e.g., "4")? If not, the only workaround I can
think of would be a long, nested IF function (e.g., =IF(A1="January",
"1",IF(A1="February", "2", . . . etc. . . ))))))))

TIA for any help offered,
Steve
