Use Fiscal Month Names

I added a calendar with the calendar function 01/01/2015 through 12/31/2018.  I want the month names in the calendar to correspond to the fiscal year though.  How can I make 01  = October through 12 = September?   The dates in my data that I will join to the calendar use numercial values for the fiscal year month.

    Maybe you could create a month column : Month = Format(Table[Date], "MMMM")

    Then create a new column called Fiscal Number = SWITCH(TRUE(), Month = "October", 1, Month = "November", 2 .... so on till Month = "September", 12). Then you can use this fiscal number for what you need.

     

    Hope this helps!
