Hello all! I am sorry if this was asked somewhere else but I searched the forums and couldn’t find it. I know how to get the file creation date, convert the / to - and export it as text. The problem is that it is formatted as m-d-yyyy. I need the three letter abbreviation for the month (the rest of the date is perfect). How do I go about doing that?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
