    format value 3 as March

    If I have the number in a cell, how do i create a formula that will turn that into March? Or if I have a date 3/12/13, how can I have a formula that will make that March, but the text, not the date.

    With the 3 in A1, March will be returned.

    With the date in A3, this will extract the month in long format.

    @ GC Excel. The number formatting thing doesn't work.

    @newdover. That worked. Thanks.
