How can I add a month name custom column within power Query? I have a Complete date column already loaded, but want a custom column in format "mmm-yy"

Hello jcastr02
you can use the formula Date.ToText like this
Date.ToText([Date],"MMM-yy")Here the complete example
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTVMzDUMzJQitWBcwyVYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}, "de-DE"), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "MMM-yy", each Date.ToText([Date],"MMM-yy")) in #"Added Custom"Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
