Retreive just the month from a date field

You can use the AttributeSplitter to split the date field on "-". The first element in the list, _list{0}, will be the month.

Or maybe something like

@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeParse(@Value(YourDateString),%N-%d-%Y),%N)

Or even with a StringSearcher, with the Regular Expression

^[^-]

 (Get all characters from the start of the string, up to the first dash)

You must have deleted your first suggestion which was to use @DateTimeFormat(@Value(date), %m) to extract the month. I used that and it worked perfectly! Thanks! I never tried your other suggestions as this one did the job!

Ha! I initially answered without testing. When I was testing, it wasn't acting as I thought so I deleted it. But never-the-less, glad it worked for you 😁

If reading from a geodatabase, you could use a where clause in a feature reader,  and set the numbered month with a user parameter so only those records are read which match the month selected

e.g.

EXTRACT(MONTH FROM "datefield") =$(month)
