Forget the nonsense I just posted. Alan, if A1 contains a date, then all you need is this…

=TEXT(A1,”mmmm”)

What I was thinking (and screwed up) is that if A1 contained the month number, then you could get the month name from it using this…

=TEXT(28*A1,”mmmm”)

A shorter formula than Alan’s (with one less function call as well) for extracting the month name for the date in A1…

=TEXT(28*MONTH(A1),”mmmm”)

This formula extracts data from a dynamic data range and returns a zero value if there is an #N/A error.

=IF(ISNA(HLOOKUP($A14,Data!$AB$2:$AW$9,MATCH(”P”,Data!$AB$2:$AB$2,0),0)),0,HLOOKUP($A14,Data!$AB$2:$AW$9,MATCH(”P”,Data!$AB$2:$AB$2,0),0))

This formula looks up data from another sheet considering three parameters keeping into account the column A and column B with sub-components (both on another sheet) and matching them up with the heading on both sheets.

=OFFSET(’Data Sheet’!$C$1,MATCH(D$2,’Data Sheet’!$A$2:$A$140,0)+MATCH($B5,’Data Sheet’!$B$2:$B$20,0)-1,MATCH(D$3,’Data Sheet’!$C$1:$J$1,0)-1)

Probably a easier way of doing this , extracting the month from a date as text. A1 is date

=TEXT(DATE(0,MONTH(a1),1),”mmmm”)

To return the name of the workbook only, e.g. MyWorkbook.xls:
=MID(CELL(”filename”,$A$1),FIND(”[",CELL("filename",$A$1))+1,FIND("]“,CELL(”filename”,$A$1))-FIND(”[”,CELL(”filename”,$A$1))-1)

To return the name fo the current worksheet, e.g. “Sheet1″:

To return the full Path+Filename of your (saved) workbook (and dropping the [] characters) to get, for example, C:\Data\ExcelFiles\MyWorkbook.xls:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(CELL(”filename”,$A$1),FIND(”]”,CELL(”filename”,$A$1))),”[",""),"]“,”")
