MONTH Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Extracting the month number from a date value
Understanding the MONTH Formula
The MONTH function in Excel extracts the month number (1-12) from a date value. It's a date component tool for isolation—like breaking down dates into parts or analyzing data by month.
MONTH("2023-04-15") returns 4, extracting just the month (April). It takes a single date argument (as serial number or text), delivering the month as a number—useful for monthly analysis or conditional formatting.
Why Use MONTH?
MONTH isolates time periods—think quarterly reports or seasonal analysis. Its focused extraction enables month-based sorting, filtering, or calculations, helping you work with specific months across years.
Example with Sample Data
| Date | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 4/15/2023 | =MONTH("4/15/2023") | 4 |
| December 25, 2023 | =MONTH("December 25, 2023") | 12 |
| TODAY() | =MONTH(TODAY()) | [Current month] |
MONTH extracts the month number: April 15, 2023 gives 4 (April). It's a month isolator.
