Translate a date into the month
In A1, either use the formula =B1 and format the cell as mmm, or use the
formula =TEXT(B1,"mmm"). The formula will leave column A as Excel dates, whereas the latter produces text. -- David Biddulph "joostb" wrote in message ...

Or: A1: =TEXT(B1,"mmm") (again, replace mmm with your symbol for month in your language) --ron |
