    Simple Date to Text Conversion

    Hi!

    I need some help converting a date into a text. On the excel sheet attached, there are two columns. The first one is a standard date format, the second one is a pull of the month of that date in text format. I'd like to pull the month and the date (ie: January 2015). How can this be done?

    Thanks for the help!

    hi.

    you can custom format the cells to display the dates in desired format: "mmmm yyyy"

    or you can use a formula which will return a text, not a date value.

    =TEXT(A4,"mmmm")&" "&YEAR(A4)

    2) Uploading File(s)
    Go Advanced / Attachments - Manage Attachments / Add Files / Select Files / Select the file(s) (multiple files can be selected while holding Ctrl key) / Upload Files / Done
    Replace company specific / sensitive / confidential data. Include so many rows and sheets etc in the uploaded workbook to enable the helpers visualize the data and table structure. Helpers do not need the entire workbook.

    3) Testing the Codes
    always back up your files before testing the codes.
