Convert Date and Time (EST) to Month and Year

How do I convert this format to "Fri Oct 23 21:49:22 EST 2015" to "Oct 2015" by means of a formula?

If you want that as a proper date which is formatted to show only the month and year, you can do this:

=DATEVALUE(MID(A1,9,3)&MID(A1,5,4)&RIGHT(A1,4))

or this:

=DATE(RIGHT(A1,4),MATCH(MID(A1,5,3),{"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"},0),MID(A1,9,2))

assuming that date/time string is in A1. Format the cell using a Custom Format of:

"mmm yyyy"

then you can copy down if you have other date/times to convert.

Hope this helps.
