Convert month number to month name

Hi Guys,

 

I have a table with month number = 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc... I would like to convert it into month name = Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, etc..

I duplicated the Month number field and used the below script to covert to month name:

Month =
SWITCH (
[Date Granularity.Level 2: Month],
1, "Jan",
2, "Feb",
3, "Mar",
4, "Apr",
5, "May",
6, "Jun",
7, "Jul",
8, "Aug",
9, "Sep",
10, "Oct",
11, "Nov",
12, "Dec",
BLANK ()
)

 

However I am getting the below message: Can anyone tell me what is going in here?

Hi, Switch function is DAX and you are in Query Editor with work with Power Query

 

The most simple way to obtain this is:

 

Add Column--> Conditional Column and Enter the conditions
