Format Date in Excel
I have a Date in Excel of 5/2/2011, I would like this date to be appended to a text field that starts with "My Date is"........ That said, I would like to convert the date above and have it appear as "My Date is May 2nd". When I use MONTH() I get a 5 and not "May". Any ideas?

MONTH returns a month number, not a month name.
You could use a formula like this:
="My date is "&TEXT(A2,"mmmm d")
You could use a formula like this:
="My date is "&TEXT(A2,"mmmm d")
