    Strip day from date

    In this thread I received an answer on how to strip the time from a date formated field using "=INT()". At the moment this works fine for me but I wonder if there is a possibility to strip the day form the datefield as well. This would be a great help in my monthly reports.

    Maybe

    =TEXT(A1;"MMMM YYY")

    Re: Strip day from date

    hi Armand. if eg is:
    15 Apr 2014

    what do you want? 15? Tue? Tuesday? the answers in order are:
    =DAY(A1)
    =TEXT(A1,"ddd")
    =TEXT(A1,"dddd")

    for 2nd & 3rd one, you also simply format cells of A1 as Custom:
    ddd
    or:
    dddd

    with INT, it looks like:
    =MONTH(INT(A1))

    Re: Strip day from date

    Currently using INT() I see something like "19-2-2014 00:00" (format=d-m-yyyy) I would like it to be "2-2014" (m-yyyy)

    =MONTH(INT(A1)) makes the year show AS 1900

    If this is for a pivot table you can group by month.
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Re: Strip day from date

    The replies with "=TEXT(A1,"m-yyyy")" are not doing what I'm looking for.
    Since it is for a pivot table I'll try to find the group by month option as suggested by Norie

    Of course, to group dates by month you would need real dates for excel to recognize them. Any text interpretations of the date will not work.

    Re: Strip day from date

    In the pivot sheet I can't find an option to sort by month. The Date field is situated in "Feport Filter". Group selection does not work there.

    Re: Strip day from date

    In the PivotTable click on the Date field, go to Options located in the Ribbon, click Group Field and select Month.

    Unfortunately this does not work. The cell shows "All" and a drop-down arrow. When the cell is selected the "Groupfield in the ribbon is greyed-out.
