Reg Formula

Hariharan

For example If we use the below formulas

Current month:

=MONTH(TODAY()) + ", " + YEAR(TODAY())

Previous Month:

=IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 1, 12, MONTH(TODAY()) - 1) + ", " + IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 1, YEAR(TODAY()) - 1, YEAR(TODAY()))

I get Values as below using the above formulas what is the way to get the Months in Text for Example (December, 2023; November, 2023; October, 2023 etc.......)

12, 2023

11, 2023

10, 2023

9, 2023

Hi @Hariharan

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this. (update/modify as needed)

=IF(Month@row <> "", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 1, "01 January", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 2, "02 February", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 3, "03 March", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 4, "04 April", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 5, "05 May", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 6, "06 June", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 7, "07 July", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 8, "08 August", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 9, "09 September", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 10, " 10 October", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 11, "11 November", IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 12, "12 December")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Hi Andree, I tried its not working actually. What is the Column type we need to setup? Is there any other way to get this ?

@Hariharan

Can you paste the exact formula you tested? It should be either a text or a dropdown column.

Can you share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.

Hi Andree,

I used below formulas to get Values on MM, YYYY column its type is Text/ Number.

=MONTH(TODAY()) + ", " + YEAR(TODAY())

=MONTH(TODAY()) - 1 + ", " + YEAR(TODAY())

=MONTH(TODAY()) - 2 + ", " + YEAR(TODAY()) etc.....

What is the formula I can use to get values on Test formula please suggest some dynamic formula. The year should automatically take only the current year.

Try something like this.

=

IF(Month@row <> "", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 1, "01 Jan", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 2, "02 Feb", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 3, "03 Mar", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 4, "04 Apr", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 5, "05 May", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 6, "06 Jun", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 7, "07 Jul", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 8, "08 Aug", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 9, "09 Sep", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 10, " 10 Oct", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 11, "11 Nov", 

IF(MONTH(Month@row) = 12, "12 Dec")))))))))))) + ", " + YEAR(Month@row))

Did it work?
