@Sean-OReilly , supposing the PURCHASEORDERS_ORDERS[DELIVERY_DATE] column is date format, you might want to try,

 

M-YY = FORMAT( PURCHASEORDERS_ORDERS[DELIVERY_DATE], "M-YY" )

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
