    Hi pardeepd84 ,

     

    Based on my test, you could use the following formula to create a Date column or a Month number column:

    Date= DATEVALUE("01-"&[Month Name]&"-2019")
    Month Number = MONTH( DATEVALUE("01-"&[Month Name]&"-2019") )

     And then change the Format as you expect:

     

    Refer to:

    DATEVALUE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs
