How to Display Months of the Year Using AMPScript
If you need to display the months of the year in your email or landing page using AMPScript, you can use the BuildRowsetFromString
function.
This function creates an array of month names and then loops through the array to display each month name.
You can learn more about the function at the AMPScript Guide.
How to Display Months of the Year Using AMPScript
Step 1: Define the Month Names
The first step is to define the month names as a comma-separated string.
You can use the full month name, abbreviated month name, or any other format that suits your needs.
%%[ set @months = "January,February,March,April,May,June, July,August,September,October,November,December" ]%%

Step 2: Create an Array of Month Names
Next, use the BuildRowsetFromString
function to create an array of month names from the string.
The BuildRowsetFromString
function takes two arguments: the string to convert and the delimiter that separates each element in the string.
In this case, the delimiter is a comma.
%%[ set @months = "January,February,March,April,May,June, July,August,September,October,November,December" set @monthArray = BuildRowsetFromString(@months, ",") ]%%
Step 3: Loop Through the Array and Display Each Month’s Name
Finally, use a for
loop to iterate over each row in the @monthArray
variable and retrieve the month name using the Field
function.
You can then display the month name using the v()
function.
This will display each month’s name on a new line, separated by <br>
tags.
%%[ for @i = 1 to RowCount(@monthArray) do set @monthName = Field(Row(@monthArray, @i), 1)]%% %%=v(@monthName)=%%<br> %%[ next @i ]%% ]%%
