Month function

Hi there,

The month function works on the basis of UK format, i.e. 10/1/10 will return 1 as the month, but if i have data in US format, how do i work around this?

thanks!
Jack

RE: Month function

Hi Jack


Thank you for your question regarding the Month function.

The Month function should work in exactly same the way with U.S date formats as it does with UK date formats.

Select the date/s - if necessary format to US
- right-click, selecting format cells. Under the Number tab select the date category, changing the Location to English (United States) and then choosing the relevant date format.

Then proceed to use the Month function in exactly the same way you would with UK dates, Excel should still be able to identify the month.


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.



If you require further assistance, please reply to this post.

Excel tip:

Use the SUBTOTAL function in Excel

You can create subtotals in your spreadsheet using the SUBTOTAL function, which looks like this:

=SUBTOTAL(9,cell:cell)

9 represents the function being used (SUM), followed by the range of cells the function is operating on.

The neat thing about using the Subtotal function is that if you have used it several times in the same column or row, clicking on the AutoSum button at the end of the column or row will make Excel add only the results of cells containing the Subtotal function in that column or row.
