Good afternoon,

I am in need of a formula that will identify the month name in one column from the month number is another column. To be specific, I need the "MONTH" column to show the abbreviated month name using the number in the "MONTH #" column. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excel Formula:

Why not just use the date rather then the month number

Thank you for the option, Fluff. The report that I have been tasked to create use the year and the month name. I cannot get the pivot table to pull those values from the full date in number format. So I have to separate them out.
