it returns Jan?
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Sort by date Sort by votes
Unless Today is a variable that has a value, that won't work.

Try
Code: 
Format(Month(Date),"mmm")

instead.

Try without Month

Code: 
Sub test()
MsgBox Format(Date, "mmm")
End Sub
