Use FORMAT() function

[misaki233]

Hi everyone!

I want to use FORMAT([Date],"mmm") to show month like "Aug".

As you can see, Column 1 is using FORMAT() but returns wrong results. Column 2 is using MONTH() and returns correct results. 

What caused the FORMAT() to return the wrong result?

Thank you in advance.

Hi All,

I found that I accidentally nested a MONTH() in FORMAT(), and the problem has been solved. Thanks everyone for your help!

@misaki233 , Check review date is detected as date of not. If not Change data type to date and then try

FORMAT([Review Date],"mmm")

Corect column should be review date. Also check to make sure the column is in date format.

Hi @misaki233

Since data is aligned to its right it is a date data type. It it was text it will be aligned to left.

Below is the formula for date data type.

MMM_Date = FORMAT(SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Review Date]),"MMM")

You are using "Date" column in formula 

Try use "Review Date"

 FORMAT([Review Date],"mmm")
