Adding the year to the month

[Godders199]

Hello,, i use the following code to pull the month from the date, i now need to pull the year also , for example September 18. can this be done within this code, or do i need to start again?

If IsDate(db.Cells(w, 4).Value) Then
db.Cells(w, 16).Value = MonthName(Month(db.Cells(w, 4).Value), False)

End If

thanks

Try this instead:

[COLOR=#333333]If IsDate(db.Cells(w, 4).Value) Then[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]    db.Cells(w, 16).Value = Format(db.Cells(w, 4).Value), "mmmm yy")[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]End If[/COLOR]

Thanks, have given it ago, does not like the coma after value, if I remove or change it does not like “mmmm yy”. Also tried changing format to text

Whoops, minor typo. Actually we just need to remove the ")" after the word "Value", i.e.

[COLOR=#333333]If IsDate(db.Cells(w, 4).Value) Then[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]    db.Cells(w, 16).Value = Format(db.Cells(w, 4).Value, "mmmm yy")[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]End If[/COLOR]

thanks for your help, i have got this to work, doing the following
If IsDate(db.Cells(w, 4).Value) Then
db.Cells(w, 16).Value = MonthName(Month(db.Cells(w, 4).Value)) & " " & Year(db.Cells(w, 4).Value)

Sounds like you may have made a typo in copying the formula. FORMAT is a valid VBA function (see: https://www.techonthenet.com/excel/formulas/format_string.php), and I did test it out.
You are using Excel, and not Google Sheets, right?

If you want the result to be Text so it is not converted to another date format, just make one small modification:

If IsDate(Db.Cells(w, 4).Value) Then
    Db.Cells(w, 16).NumberFormat = "@"
    Db.Cells(w, 16) = Format(Db.Cells(w, 4).Value, "mmmm yy")
End If
