Get the month from dates

[Anonymous]

I have a column with dates in the format 'DD-MM-YY'.
How can I get the value of the month, in a loading script?

I need to create a separate column in which I have to assign every date a month name.
Long story short, assuming I got a table column with the date in the mentioned format, how can I get the output below?

Date	Month
10-01-17	January
20-02-17	February
15-03-17	March
11-04-17	April
14-05-17	May
20-06-17	June
19-07-17	July
18-08-17	August
28-09-17	September
28-10-17	October
26-11-17	November
23-12-17	December

Set DateFormat ='DD-MM-YY';

LOAD Date,

          Month(Date) as ShortMonth,

          Text(Date(Date, 'MMMM')) as LongMonth

FROM ...;

edit:

or

...

  Dual(Date(Date, 'MMMM'),Month(Date) ) as LongMonth

to keep the numerical month number in long format, too

try this

Test:

LOAD * , date(Date#(Date,'DD-MM-YYYY'),'MMMM')  as Rebate_New;

LOAD * Inline [

Date

10-01-17

];
