    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])

Thanks for this solution. I did some bugfixing to generate a jan-dec range. 

MonthTable = 
var FullCalendar = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDARauto(3),"Month Number",MONTH([Date]),"Year",YEAR([Date]),"Year-Month",LEFT(FORMAT([Date],"yyyyMMdd"),6),"Month Name",FORMAT([Date],"MMM"),"Year-MonthName",FORMAT([Date],"yyyy MMM"))
return 
SUMMARIZE(FullCalendar,[Month Number],[Year],[Year-Month],[Year-MonthName], [Month Name])
