    Returning long date in format 'December, 2012' from cell hardcoded with 12/15/2012

    A1 is hard-coded 12/15/2012 and I want B1 to = A1 but return the date in the format of month and year only, like December, 2012. Thoughts?

    by formula:
    =text(a1,"MMMM, YYYY")

    by cell format:
    Right click on B1, format cell, Number Tab, Custom, Type MMMM, YYYY in the input Type field
