Converting Period # into MonthNames

[#1]

Hi I'm new to qlikview and need to convert a fiscal period number (my field) into text a MonthNames. 

So my document has the field period, and  within it are simple 1,2,3....etc. with 1 representing feb. because its the start of the fiscal year for our company.   How would I go about converting the 1-Feb, 2-Mar., 3-April, etc. and continually update including reset once the fiscal year resets?

Thanks for all your help,

alex

Hi

Create a inline and join it with MonthNo

LOAD * INLINE [

    MonthNo, Name

    1, Feb

    2, Mar

    3, Apr

    4, May

    5, Jun

    6, Jul

    7, Aug

    8, Sep

    9, Oct

    10, Nov

    11, Dec

    12, Jan

Thanks for the help, but all this did was expand my periods from 5 to 12, no text.  Does it help/change anything if i tell you my original load from excel is called periods, and my set=MonthNames?

You may use the 'dual' function to associate a field to a number and string values.

In the attached example, I have loaded Period data as number and displayed it as a string.

Hope this helps.
