Hello.

Seeking a formula to extract details from the CURRENT DATE START (E) cell to populate in the MONTH (A) cell and the WEEK (B) cell instead of me manually entering the month and week- appreciate your help in advance. Thank you.

Just out of curiosity, are the month and day names usually written in all lower case in your locale (not just in Excel, but in normal writing, such as a newspaper for example) ?

I guess that is why Microsoft decided not to make the output for month (or day) names proper case for your locale... still, it might be nice if the documentation mentioned that there is a discrepancy on this depending on locale.
