Insert the month based on date
I'm trying to insert a formula to return the month i.e. January depending on a date. The formula I have inserted is
=IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 1, "January, IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 2, "February", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 3, "March", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 4, "April", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 5, "May", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 6, "June", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 7, "July", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 8, "August", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 9, "September", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 10, "October", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 11, "November", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 12, "December")))))))))))
The result is #UNPARSEABLE. Any ideas on what could be causing this error? I would also love to have the year included to i.e. January 2022. Is this possible?

It is perfect but you are missing a " after January.

Hi @B Young
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=IF([Start Date]@row <> "", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 1, "January", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 2, "February", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 3, "March", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 4, "April", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 5, "May", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 6, "June", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 7, "July", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 8, "August", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 9, "September", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 10, "October", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 11, "November", IF(MONTH([Start Date]@row) = 12, "December")))))))))))) + " " + YEAR([Start Date]@row))
Did that work/help?
