Is there an easier way to fill column B with the month of the date in column A.
This is what i am currently doing:
Sheet1.Range("B3:B" & Lastrow).Formula = "=Text(A3,""MMMM"")"

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
What's difficult with the code you've posted?

Not if you want to keep the formula

If no formulas makes the code run faster, and accomplishes the same thing, then goodbye formulas.

Don't know if this will be quicker, it depends on the amount of data, but try
Code:
With Sheet1.Range("B2:B" & lastrow)
   .Value = Evaluate(Replace("if(@<>"""",text(@,""MMMM""),"""")", "@", .Offset(, -1).Address))
End With

THANKS! I think it is faster.

I'll be playing with this piece,text(@,""MMMM""), to see if I can use it for WeekNum, and Year().

If you get into problems trying to adapt it, then just start a new thread.

If you would like it to happen automatically as you enter dates in column A
Try this:

This is an auto sheet event script
Your Workbook must be Macro enabled
To install this code:
Right-click on the sheet tab
Select View Code from the pop-up context menu
Paste the code in the VBA edit window

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Modified  9/10/2018  3:02:38 PM  EDT
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
Target.Offset(, 1).Value = Format(Target.Value, "MMMM")
End If
End Sub
