Extract month full name from Date dimension in Direct Query

Hi friends,

 

How to extract a date column and get a month full name, but in Direct Query. Normally I found blogs explain to use FORMAT(), but Direct Query not supporting this, and I can't use Mixed mode as well.

 

Thanks

Hi @VoltesDev 

 

Try this code to add a new custom column:

Date.ToText([Date],"MMMM")
