how to convert single digit to month name
I can't for the life of me figure out how to convert a number in a cell which has a value of 1 to 12 into a month name. E.g. If A1=1 then B1 should = "January". The date functions don't seem to help unless you have a whole date E.g. DD/MM/YYYY. Is there a native function I can use, or am I stuck doing a vlookup on a list I specify elsewhere? -- cygnus |

You can convert it to a date:
=date(2006,a1,1) and format as MMMM or =text(date(2006,a1,1),"MMMM") cygnus wrote: I can't for the life of me figure out how to convert a number in a cell which has a value of 1 to 12 into a month name.
