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. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Niek Otten" wrote in message ... =TEXT(TODAY(),"mmm") -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Randy" wrote in message ...

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. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Randy" wrote: 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.
