MONTH

MONTH(date)

The month of a date as a number from 1 (January) to 12 (December), such as the month a task finishes in. It is only the month, so tasks in March of two different years both give 3: compare the year too, or use TEXT with "yyyy-mm".

Arguments

TRUE for tasks starting in December, January or February, for a winter-work check.
