Need a fromula

[comotoman]

The cell im working from is b3. it is formated under "date: march 98"
need just the number of the month to appear in cell c3.


b3= october-04 then c3= 10
b3= november-02 then c3=10
etc..

Any Ideas

try =month(b3)

does that work for you?

Hi

One way, in cell C3
=B3 and format cell C3 as Format>Cells>Number>Custom> mm
