Calculating current month
 

I need a worksheet to calculate the current month and print it out in text
form example September and not in numeric form example 9. I have tried
playing around with the date functions but have not come up with the
solution. Can anyone suggest a method for accomplishing this taskÉ

Calculating current month
 

To Niek: Since the OP's example indicated he wanted the full month name
spelled out, your formula needs another 'm' in the format pattern...

=TEXT(TODAY(),"mmmm")

To Randy: You can also just put =TODAY() in a cell and Custom Format the
cell using mmmm as the Type.

Hi,

Enter =TODAY() or NOW() in a cell and then choose Format, Cells, Number tab,
Custom and on the Type line on the right enter MMMM or mmmm.
