Date number to Reg date

I am looking to change a number in a date to just the month. So 01/01/23 will be January.


In regular excel I can use the =text function. But I can not do that for smart sheet.


What formula do I need?

    @BlakeView I keep a sheet called "Month" just for the purpose of performing this lookup on many different projects.

    You need a column for MonthNumber and one for MonthName, then just fill them with a row for each month:

    1 January

    2 February

    etc

    On your other sheet, use a formula like this:

    =INDEX({reference the MonthName column from your Month sheet here}, MATCH(MONTH(DateColumnNameHere@row), {reference the MonthNumber column from your Month sheet here}, 0))

    In English, give me the value from MonthName column where the MonthNumber matches the month in this date value.
