Need to convert Date Column in to Month in date format

Hi ,

 

I need a help to convert date column into month but in date folrmat itself. 

 

I have used format([date],"MMM") option but it gives me result in text format which doesnot let me sort data based on month in visualization.

 

Is there any way to convert date column in MM-YY in date format itself?

Hi @Anonymous 

You can do that in the Modeling pane -> Format, located under the Data Type.
