Get all month names between 2 dates

[craigja]

Im struggling with this one!  I have an excel file with a month name in it (January, February etc), this is the month that a report(s) should be created.  I have another set of data  with the actual date that report was created (15-Jan-2022 for example) - I need to find out if a report should have been created in say March  but wasn't.  I have used a formula to extract the month from the creation date and am using that to join to the excel file so can tell if a report was done on time.  

What I'm struggling with is the Excel file has data for a full year,  but we will be reconciling the data probably quarterly - so if the team select the date range of Jan to March and a report was due in Feb but wasn't created I want that to flag but also, if a report is due in June (and the team are still doing the Jan - March reconciliation) I don't want that to flag.

What I really want to do is take the start and end date that the team will be inputting via a date selector on the workflow/app and then get the month name of every month from start date to end date.

Start Date: 01 Jan 2022

End Date: 31 May2022

I want something like:

January

February

March

April

May

@craigja are you after something like this? If the date range can span multiple years and have the same month from 2 years i.e. Jan 2022 & Jan 2023, then you may want to also include the year element or a summarize two just roll them into one - all depends on your requirement.

Hello @craigja 

I've attached a sample workflow which would enable you to do the date calculation dynamically.

Hope this helps!
