The basic problem is that toReadAble() can only accept either a Date or String type as a parameter and presumably row("Month") is neither of those. First step is to determine what *is* the type of row("Month") - you can then decide whether to somehow convert it to a date or string or, probably better, to provide an additional overload for toReadable()......
