Hi Ean
With your starting date in A1 Either =A1 but format the cell FormatCellNumberCustommmm This will still retain the date as a serial number but display it as Apr Or =TEXT(A1,"mmm") This will create a text value of Apr Copy down the rest of the column as required. -- Regards Roger Govier "Eán" wrote in message ...

As =TEXT(A1,"mmm") gives Apr, you may want to change it to =TEXT(A1,"mmmm") to get April, or to =UPPER(TEXT(A1,"mmmm")) to get APRIL. -- David Biddulph "Roger Govier" <roger@technology4unospamdotcodotuk wrote in message ...

Thanks Jacob and David
Both excellent points. I had misread the requirement for the full month name. -- Regards Roger Govier "Jacob Skaria" wrote in message ... and to handle blanks... =IF(A1,TEXT(A1,"mmmm"),"") If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "David Biddulph" wrote: As =TEXT(A1,"mmm") gives Apr, you may want to change it to =TEXT(A1,"mmmm") to get April, or to =UPPER(TEXT(A1,"mmmm")) to get APRIL. -- David Biddulph "Roger Govier" <roger@technology4unospamdotcodotuk wrote in message ...
