Excel convert from yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss to MM

Question

I am trying to convert a column from yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss to Months

an actual example is as follows

The reason is, I would like to gather how many calls have been done every month possibly in a graph

Answer 1

use Mid to pull the month number:

=--MID(E2,6,2)

to get the month name we need to parse the string to an actual date:

=TEXT(LEFT(E2,10),"MMMM")

Answer 2

Here you go:

=TEXT(A1,"M")

Will return a number from 1 to 12. If you want the full month written out use "MMMM".
