Change how Date displays on an axis?

Currently I have a date field with is properly setup but when I used it on a chart it displays as "MMM YYYY".  Is there any way to change how that gets displayed? For example I would like it to display just as "MMM" without the year.

Month =
FORMAT ( 'Table'[date], "MMMM" )
