# MonthOf (MonthOfTheYear)

The **MonthOf** function returns the number of the month, represented by the given date value **AValue**. The month result is a number between 1 and 12.

**Declaration**: function MonthOf( const AValue : TDateTime) : Word

function MonthOfTheYear(const AValue: TDateTime): Word;

An example follows.

```pascal
procedure OnMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
begin
 //If the date is 2009-06-25 then the result is 6
  Value := MonthOf(Date);
end;
```

**MonthOf** has the same functionality as the **MonthOfTheYear** function.
