    List.Distinct(
        List.Transform(
            { Number.From(#date(2020,4,1))..Number.From(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow())) },
            each Text.Combine(
                {
                   Text.Start(Date.MonthName(Date.From(_)), 3),
                   Text.End(Text.From(Date.Year(Date.From(_))), 2)
                }, "-"
            )
        )
    ),
    convertToTable = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
    convertToTable

     

    For this output:
