hi everyone
If I use month() I get a serial 1-12 as output. Is there a
formula to get output "january" ?
 
Hi Claude,
use cell formatting

format, cell, custom, mmmm

you will still have the complete date value it is just the display
that is affected.

Or, if you really want the text as real text, not a formatted date:

=TEXT(A1,"mmmm")
 
Thanks Harald, this is what I need!

In addition to what others have written, if you really want to have that serial
number, you could also use the CHOOSE function:

=CHOOSE(MONTH(),"January","February","March", ... )
