Date name in Spanish

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody,

I would like to know how I change the name of the dates (days,months...) from english to spanish.

I´m using this formula, for example, to create a new column and I would like to show the names in spanish:
Month Name = FORMAT(DimFecha[FECHA];"MMMM")

My regional setting in Power Bi Desktop is Spanish.

Any help, please ?

Hi

If you use the Add Column from Date - Month - Name of Month via the Query Editor you will get the month name in spanish.

If you add a column via the field list you will get the month name from your windows regional settings.

I recommend the translation via the Query editor - where you in the optional argument can specify the language.

Thanks @donsvensen!

I´m using this column in a table that doesn´t come directly from a query, so I can't use the Query editor.
The table comes from the distincts dates of another table. After that I want to create the column "Name of the month", "Name of the Day", ...

Thanks for the explanation.
