change Gregorian date to Hijri Date in calculated column
Hi, I use language pack for sharepoint 2007, and select Hijri calendar in Site Settings->Regional Settings. Now I want to use Group By capability in sharepoint list that group my list item with month of record created. I use formula in calculated column to get Month base on created at,but it return month in Gregorian date . How I can use formula than can change Gregorian date to Hijri Date? for example can I write if, else formula for calculated column? If date between 1/01/2011 and 1/31/2011 return “Equivalent Month in Hijri “ in calculated column?

Hi , The calculated column about date is by default the Gregorian date, we are sorry that this is by design. When we create a new column “Date and Time”, we can select the “use calendar type” in “Calendar”, this isn’t provided in calculated column. Xue-Mei Chang

Thanx Xue-Mei, Can I solve my problem with calculated column formula? For example =IF(OR([Created]>"6/22/2011";[Created]<22/07/2011;"My Hijri Month") And use such this formula for return all my hijri month? Can you help me correct formula syntax to solve my problem? Thanx.
