Creating new column as Month (MMM) from date

Adam_B

Hello, 

 

I have a date set, 01/01/2023 that I want to add a new column to output the Month name, so in the example I would like JAN as the output.

I tried this formula, 

DateTimeFormat([APH REQ Action Date],"%B")

 

However, the output is all NULLs. 

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks, 

Adam

Hi @Adam_B 

 

One way of doing this.

 

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([Field1],"%m/%d/%y"),"%b")

 

Note: The formula you have used was right but however the datetime formula will produce successful results if the date is in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD

Hence used datetime parse to convert to ISO format and then applied your formula.
