Hi @Mounika1 ,

 

iyou have to convert the date to the date data type  in a first step. Then you can use DateTimeFormat to extract the month. The formula

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([Field1], '%m/%d/%Y'), '%B') will return the long name (e.g. "December")

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([Field1], '%m/%d/%Y'), '%b') results in the short name ("Dec")

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([Field1], '%m/%d/%Y'), '%m')  give the number ("12")

 

Hope this solves your problem.

 

Best,

 

Roland
