Why is my FORMAT function not working?

Hello,  I am doing an Udemy course on Power BI

In the instruction video, the instruction put in a formula like this

 

Month Name = FORMAT([SalesDate], "MMMM")

 

And he got column with Month spelt out like this

 

But when I do the exact same thing, I am still getting date in the dd/mm/yyyy format.

 

Why is this the case?

 

  • Had to convert SalesDate column to Date format in Power Query Editor first, now it is working.
