Calculate field to show Name of Month only from DoB field

[Oz87]

Hello,

is there a calculation to extract the Month name such as “January” from a date of birth field?
i have tried format-date(${date}, ‘%n’) and format-date(${date}, ‘%B’) but they didnt work

thanks in advance.

Small letter (%b), please. Will give you short text month (Jan, Feb, etc), in current form language.
See ODK XForms Specification.

@Oz87, you should be able to do the same by following this post discussed previously:

Extract the month from a date

@idrikabore, you could do it as outlined by @wroos as shown in the image shared below: In the survey tab of your xlsform: [Image 1] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: [Image 2] Reference xlsform: Date.xlsx (16.7 KB)
