Private Sub importa_buton_Click()

Dim luna As String
Dim anul As Integer


data = Analiza_Date.TextBox1.Value
TextBox1.Value = Format(data, "mmm-yyyy")

With the code above the output for msgbox data is 01.02.2016 and i want to display like input "feb-2016"

Answer 1

You can build up a string with the two functions MonthName and Year like this

Dim str As String
str = MonthName(date, TRUE) & "-" & Year(date)

where date is your date. If the second argument in MonthName is TRUE then the abbreviation and not the full month name is returned.

Answer 2

Use the following code to save:

data As Date , luna As String and anul As Integer

Private Sub importa_buton_Click()

Dim data As Date
Dim luna As String
Dim anul As Integer

data = Analiza_Date.TextBox1.value
TextBox1.value = Format(data, "mmm-yyyy")

luna = Format(data, "mmm")
anul = Year(data)

MsgBox luna & "-" & anul
MsgBox luna
MsgBox anul

End Sub
