MonthName()
Returns the month name of a date
put a bit simpler...
Hey Coda, give me the name of the month in this date.
MonthName() has two parameters, one is necessary and one is optional.

A date/time that you want to add more months to.
Format
MonthName(DateTime, Format)
"MMM" returns a shorthand name; "MMMM" returns the full name.
Select a date 👉
MonthName() : The month name of is
Jan 11, 2023
Month(): Using this formula on my doc gives me this result
MonthName(’MMM’) : The shortened month name of is
Jan 11, 2023
As you can see, this formula is rather simple —pass it a date and you get a very predictable result. Don’t pass it up so quickly, though! Month() is really helpful when building graphs or grouping your data.
