Name of month
I am making a macro that generates a report. I want to set the title of the
report to the current month. I dont quite know how to use the now property (my help fuunction does not work). Code: strDate1 = Format(Now, "YYYY-MM-DD") with this I get the month (and day etc.) but I want to get the month and be able to show it in a cell. How do you do this? Is it possible to the month in another language? (my excel is in swedish and I wantb to get in swedish). Please help me! |

Use MMMM rather than MM in your format string.

This will give you the month as a word, using whatever international settings
windows is using: Dim strDate As String strDate = Format(Date, "yyyy-mmmm-dd") ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value = strDate -- Kevin Backmann "Fabrizio" wrote: I am making a macro that generates a report.

Name of month
strDate1 = Format(Date,"mmmm")
Range("A1").Value = strDate I don't know if you will need to change the mmm for Swedish (it would be tttt for Tag in German) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Fabrizio" wrote in message ...

month should be one month behind (if it is june then the text should be may). Is there any way to do this?

Ahh. I just noticed the language was Swedish as I hit the Send button.
I'd be curious to learn if MonthName returns the correct name in a language other than English. -- Dana DeLouis [A1] = MonthName(Month(DateAdd("m", -1, Now))) <snip |
