First letter capitalized

Hello,

 

In the calendar table, I need the first letter of the month in capital letters. I created a calculated column and tested several functions without success.

 

Any suggestions to solve this problem?

 

Thank you very much.

  • The FORMAT mmmm is returning lower case because of your langauge settings.
    Different countries have different rules:-

    en: September

    es: septiembre

    fr: septembre

    de: September

    This will display months with capital first letter

    Month = UPPER(LEFT(FORMAT('Calendar'[Date],"mmmm"),1)) & MID(FORMAT('Calendar'[Date],"mmmm"),2, LEN(FORMAT('Calendar'[Date],"mmmm"))-1)

     

    Please now click the thumbs up and the [accept as solution] button.  Thank you.

      Hello! Previously, this was the formula I created. As shown in the image, the month starts with a lowercase letter.

      What can it be?

       

      Grateful.
