    Converting dates into months

    Hi,

    When I import data from our Peachtree data base into Excell, there is a column CUSTOMER SINCE. This colunm is filled with dates in the format mm/dd/yyyy

    I do not need the exact date, but rather the month they've been a CUSTOMER SINCE.

    What is the quickest way to have a CUSTOMER SINCE column filled with the JAN, FEB, MAR etc. instead of exact dates?

    Thank you,
    Fala

    Why are dates and times so much trouble?
