Month Number to Display as Name

[byrnel0586]

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'))

Hi

You can use two expressions

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

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