Step 1. Math column

`Month(Date)`

_Replace “Date” with your column containing the date._

Step 2. ITE column to replace the numbers representing the month to text.

I am but a mere mortal but that’s how I’d do it 🕶

An alternative to step 2:

- Create a Basic text column, and fill it with your month names, eg:
  - January
  - February
  - March
  - etc…

- Then create a single value column pointing at that basic column, using `n` from start, where `n` is the output of your math column at step 1
