Larry,
If you are only interested in the month and want it to be a number =
instead of an abbreviation then try this:
=3DIF(A5<>"",IF(TYPE(A5)=3D1,MONTH(A5),MONTH(DATEVALUE("1-" & =
MID(A5,FIND("-",A5)+1,3) & "-1900"))),"Unknown")
It will require no modification to your data as Excel will treat the =
invalid dates as text anyway. It simply pulls the month out of the =
invalid date ( type <> 1) and builds a valid date to confert to a month =
number.=20
