Date Format

Hi Friends,

I'm having a problem in Retrieving the date format.

I'm having the field Ret_Month and need to use it as dimension.

My Ret_Month is in 01,02,03,04......

I need show like it as full names January....December.

I used like below.

=if(date(Ret_Month,'MMMM'),Ret_Month)

But, i'm getting as January, December, January, January,January......January.

Please anyone suggest me what may be the problem is...

Thanks & Regards

Krishna

Have a look at attached application.

Edit:

You can even use the below code too.

Date(Date#(MONTH,'MM'),'MMMM') as TestField,

Hi Krishna,

as far as I can see, Manish Kachhia was the first who came up with the

Date(Date#(SubField('$(MonthNames)',';',Ret_Month),'MMM'),'MMMM') as Ret_MonthFull

solution.

Thanks Marco for pointing this out...

Community Members satisfaction is more important for me rather than Earning Point.

As far as this question closed... I am happy...
