Month Number to Display as Name

byrnel0586 — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 14:04:35 GMT

I had to change my month names to numbers in order to use them as max values in some expressions. Now I am needing them to display as 'Jan', 'Feb', etc for the list box selection but still maintain a numeric value.

I have tried the Pick and Dual(Pick( functions, but they are not sorting properly even when I choose ascending by numeric value. Is there any way to preserve the numeric trait while displaying as text?

Try this

=Month(Date#(MonthNumberField, 'M'))

You can use two expressions

Month(MonthNumericField)
date(MonthNumericField, 'MMM')

With this two expressions you will show the numeric fields as string fields
