Calendar w/ months interval

    I assuem you assign start date and end date. Then you can create a calculated table with DAX. Please refer to my sample below:

     

    MonthTable = 
var FullCalendar = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR("2016/1/1","2017/12/31"),"Month Number",MONTH([Date]),"Year",YEAR([Date]),"Year-Month",LEFT(FORMAT([Date],"yyyyMMdd"),6),"Month Name",FORMAT(MONTH([Date]),"MMM"),"Year-MonthName",YEAR([Date]) & " " & FORMAT(MONTH([Date]),"MMM"))
return 
SUMMARIZE(FullCalendar,[Month Number],[Year],[Year-Month],[Year-MonthName])

If you look more closely, you will see that your result is unfortunately wrong for Year-MonthName:

indeed, year = 2016

month number = 1

year-month = 201601

year-monthname = 2016 Dec

 

same for all other month, you have Jan for all other month instead of the real expexted value.

 

unfortunately, I still do not have found a fix for this strange behaviour.

I found that if you keep everything that v-sihou-msft had but change the Year - Month Name part of the formula to this, it works correctly: 

"Year-MonthName",YEAR([Date]) & " " & FORMAT([Date],"MMM"))
