Convert month number to month name

[Anonymous]

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?

format(date(2020,[your month number],1),"MMM")

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
