in A15 I have date like this: 1-01-2011
in B15 i have the following formula: vlookup(text(month(A15);"mmmm";$A$2:$B$13;2;0)

My question is:
Why's that when i change date in A15, for example to 1-02-2011, excel always retrieves the same value???(2.41€)

I already sort columns in ascending order, but that doesn't seems to work..

Thanks guys..
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
And you all, i have this set of data from A1:B13

Your month is right?
1-01-2011 rewrite 2011-1-01
formulas:=VLOOKUP(TEXT(A15,"mmmm"),$A$2:$B$13,2,0)

Thanks Violet, but i already found my error,the "MONTH", was my mistake, since we don't need it in this formula.
