Month number to text in a measure

Good afternoon community,

 

I'm looking to display months' names in a report, but so far I have only been able to get the month number via :

 

 

CURRENTMONTH=MONTH(TODAY())

 However, I would like to have this month displayed by its name and not its number. I have see many examples on this forum about this, but they all use a table with a new column, which I am unable, as this report is based on a online dataset.

 

Therefore: can I display months' names using a measure formula?

 

Best regards,
