Hi all,
This feels like a silly problem but I just cannot work it out...
I want to display the month name in one cell by using the date in another cell. By googling I found out that the TEXT function should be able to this according to =TEXT(A1, "mmm"). However, when I apply the function I receive a double zero instead of the months name. It gives me the same result if I put the date in another cell or if I write it directly in the formula. What am I missing??
This is what I want:
A1: 2017-11-03 B1: November
This is what I get:
A1: 2017-11-03 B1: 00
Please help... =)
