How do I copy only the month from a date
 

I need to copy just the month from one worksheet "A" to worksheet "B" in the
same work book so I can count the number of occurances in one month. I also
have to copy the whole date in worksheet "A" to worksheet "B" in another
column.

Worksheet A Worksheet B Column 1 Worksheet B Collumn 2
To copy To paste To Paste
03/21/05 03 03/21/05

Worksheet B ,occasionally, gets sorted by date. Worksheet A will be data
entry where leaving off the "0" occassionaly in the first 9 months will
happen from time to time as human error.

Worksheet A populates worksheet B and once worksheet A is populated the
newly populated row in B is copied to the row below. Once copied to to the
row below the data in A is deleted with the next set of data.

Is this too much for excel and an ACCESS application. I just about have it
in excel ecept for these two collumns.

You can get the month of an actual date by using the MONTH(date) function.
It will return only a 3, not an 03. If you need two digits, use
=TEXT(MONTH(date),"00")

Just directly reference the date in Worksheet A to get it into Worksheet B.

=date
