    Change Date (numbers) to words.

    I'm simplifying a monthly report of about 10,000 rows. The date on each sale is listed as ex. 4/8/2010. I would like to transform this to April 2010.
    I want to insert a new column next to the DATE column with the name of the months as I showed above.
    Here is what I have so far

    This code just finds the column where DATE is in, selects the entire thing and inserts a new column next to it. Now I want to put the month Names depending on Date in new col. ex. (5/8/2010 = MAY 2010, 6/2/2010= JUNE 2010, 8/2/2010 = AUGUST 2010, etc)

    I hope someone can help.
    Thanks.

    Rather than using VBA could you not just insert a column and use a formula like this?

    =TEXT(A1,"MMMM YYYY")

    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]
