Split Date in two Columns

I have to convert a full date, to just show year and month.

Column A has date the 4/27/2017 , I need a formula in Column B to show only the year (2017) and column C to show only the month (April)

Thank you, LaDonna

Column B:
=Year(A2)

Column C:
=TEXT(A2, "mmmm")

Thank you !!!

Another question, how do I prevent 1900 from showing in the blank cells?

You use IF function.

=IF(A2="","",YEAR(A2))

Ohhh.. got it.. THANK YOU !!

You are welcome and thanks for the rep
