TOMONTH (MonthIndex)

• $MonthIndex$ is any number from 1 to 12.

Description

• This function shows the name of the month for the given Index number.
• In $TOMONTH(MonthIndex)$,$MonthIndex$ is any number from 1 to 12.
• A year is divided into 12 months in the modern-day Gregorian calendar.
• The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases.
• Such months are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days.
• Each month has either 28, 30, or 31 days during a common year, which has 365 days.
• During leap years, which occur nearly every 4 years, we add an extra intercalary day, Leap Day, on 29 February, making leap years 366 days long.
• This is to keep our current calendar aligned with the solar year and astronomical seasons marked by equinoxes and solstices.
• So this function will show as January when Month Index is 1.
• When The parameter value is 2,then will show February and so on.
• This function will return the result as error when the Month Index value is other than 1 to 12.
