# Month

Returns the month as a number, 1 to 12.

| Expression           | Databox value        | Result |
| -------------------- | -------------------- | ------ |
| `Month`              | `15-10-2023 08:00pm` | `10`   |
| `Month Between(5,9)` | `20/06/2023`         | `True` |

The second example tests whether the date falls between May and September — a summer-months rule, without naming a year.
