Finding month in mm/dd/yyyy format
Hello,
Given a column of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format, how would I write a function which would return only the month for each cell. I need the month to be written out as numbers 1 through 12, or as Jan, Feb, etc. Using the J, F, M, A, M month notation won't work because there are too many duplicates. Example: column 1 has dates, column 2 has daily temperatures, column 3 will contain all the temperatures for the month of January, column 4 for Feb, etc. So column three should have some function as follows: =IF(column1 month = January, column2, "") If someone knows how to do this, I'd appreciate it. thanks |

Finding month in mm/dd/yyyy format
Assuming A1 contains the date. If you want the month number...
=MONTH(A1) If you want the abbreviated month name... =TEXT(A1,"mmm") If you want the full month name... =TEXT(A1,"mmmm") -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Andrew" wrote in message ...

I need the month to be written out as numbers 1 through 12 If A1 contains the date (in any format), MONTH(A1) returns the month number between 1 and 12. Example: column 1 has dates, column 2 has daily temperatures, column 3 will contain all the temperatures for the month of January, column 4 for Feb, etc. If A1 contains the date and B1 contains the temperature, then put the following formula into C1 and copy across through N1: =IF(MONTH($A1)=COLUMN(C1)-COLUMN($B1),$B1,"") Then copy the row down as needed. Be careful with the "$"; I purposely wrote $A1, not $A$1, and I purposely wrote C1, not $C1. ----- original message ----- "Andrew" wrote in message ...

Finding month in mm/dd/yyyy format
You could put this in column C and copy down as far as needed.
