Changing contents of cell based on Cell Format
I have cells with individual dates-
Current contents Desired Contents 06/01/2009 June 06/14/2009 June 07/04/2009 July 07/31/2009 July I know I can change the appearance to what I want using FORMAT CELL, but I need to change the actual cell contents to the month rather than the individual date. I used to do this using the TEXT to COLUMNS function, but it's not working like it used to in my previous version. Is there another way to do this? Thanks, Heather |

It's the Text function you want (not Text-to-Columns). Use;
=Text(a1,"mmmm") Regards, Fred "HeatherJ" wrote in message ...
