Thanks for quick response
Month column showing in field list when in enter query editor column not show ??
lavdeep Calculated columns and Tables that are created under Data Pane can't be visible/accessible under Power Query Editor. In that case, add a new field in Power Query Editor to extract the Month as below using "Custom Column" under Add Column tab.
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "NewFieldNameMMM", each DateTime.ToText([DateField], "MMM"), type text)
so if my date is 24/6/2019 and I would like to get a separate column with the month name fro all the dates.
so i should use the below., rite but in this case I am getting error for the word Format sazing its mispellt.
Format([DateField],”MMM”)
Hi,
Yours is a calculated column formula (not a M Language formula). I think you are trying to write that formula in the Query Editor - do not write it there.

Hello,
I am new to Power BI and learning. In the screenshot u will find the 3 tables in which the center one is the bridge table.
Now I want to find the which and the number of jobs(jobname) under which assignee group got finished, cancelled (Status Attribute).
Hello All,
I'm really new on this. I'm trying to get the month name from two columns using an if function.
I need for example if column "Delivery Type" has "Miami_Xdock" it should bring the month name from column "Leg2 Order Received", if not it should bring month name from Column "Leg1 Actual Delivery Date"
I was trying the two below:
IF(Deliveries_db[Delivery Type]="Miami_Xdock",MONTH([Leg2 Order Received],[Leg1 Actual Delivery Date])) This one didn't work
IF(Deliveries_db[Delivery Type]="Miami_Xdock",FORMAT([Leg2 Order Received],[Leg1 Actual Delivery Date])) This one brings only the date for column "Leg1 Actual delivery date" (like the if is not working)Hope you can help!Hello All,
i just solved it myself. I used the below and works perfect
MONTH = IF(Deliveries_db[Delivery Type]="Miami_Xdock",FORMAT(Deliveries_db[Leg2 Order Received],"mmmm"),FORMAT(Deliveries_db[Leg1 Actual Delivery Date],"mmmm"))regards!
Hi, I have just solved it as follows:
- Click on Add new customized column
- Insert the following formula
Date.ToText([YourColumnWithDate], "MMM"), type text)
- In case you want it to return the whole name of the month, use this:
Date.ToText([YourColumnWithDate], "MMMMM"), type text)
Hope it helps!

lavdeep You can add month name column both in Dax or power query editor.
For Pbi Desktop (Dax) you need to add one column and use thisMonth = FORMAT((DateTable[Date]), "mmm").
make sure your date column is in Date Format.
