Ok, this is really driving me nuts... Given: =MONTH(NOW()) results in the number of the current month (1, for January) I want to simply translate this to the monthname, so I used: =TEXT(MONTH(NOW()),"MMM") this almost gives me what I want, but it results in "Dec', instead of "Jan" - WTF??? Changing it to: =TEXT(MONTH(NOW())+1,"MMM") gives me "Jan", which is what I want. Why do I have to add a '1' to it??? -- Tony Arnold MBCS, CITP | Senior IT Security Analyst | Directorate of IT Services | G64, Kilburn Building | The University of Manchester | Manchester M13 9PL | T: +44 161 275 6093 | M: +44 773 330 0039 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
