I ws looking for a formula that will populate say H1 with April

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Rather contrived

=TEXT(DATE(YEAR(DATEVALUE("01/"&A1&"/"&YEAR(TODAY()))),MONTH(DATEVALUE("01/"&A1&"/"&YEAR(TODAY())))+1,DAY(DATEVALUE("01/"&A1&"/"&YEAR(TODAY())))),"mmmm")

Had to lookup that meaning:
2 : to bring about by stratagem or with difficulty

I appreciate you effort, I too had tried numerous ways.

I get a #VALUE error with your formula.

Not sure if I missed something, but would this work too?

=TEXT(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,DAY(A1)),"mmmm")

Edit.... Never mind, I figured it out. VoG's is good if you have the Text "march" in cell A1. If you have an actual date value in A1 though, it will not work. Mine would be the one for a date.

It works for me. I am using the dd/mm/yyyy date format. If you are using a different date fiormat, like mm/dd/yyyy then you will need to adjust

DATEVALUE("01/"&A1&"/"&YEAR(TODAY())

so that it 'looks' like a date in your date format.

That really is quite impressive.

may be this

Code:
=TEXT(DATEVALUE("1-"&A1)+32,"mmmm")

:oops: Sorry VoG, it does work. My stupidity, A1 was just a "quick post" cell reference. My actual cell is G1.

After I adjusted, it works just fine. I appreciate your effort.

I also tried sanrv1f's formula and it works also.

In my attempts, I had tried the +32 approach but I didn't quite get there.

Thank you both for the help.
