[DAX] FORMAT Month not working properly

I'm having an issue where the FORMAT function for Month is only returning January and December. I originally tried:

 

SHIP MONTH = format(month('Table'[DATE]), "MMMM")

 

and was only getting January and December. Then I decided to split the operation. I created a column:

 

SHIP MONTH NUMBER = month('Table'[DATE])

 

which produced the correct month numbers for the corresponding dates. I then created:

 

SHIP MONTH NAME = format('Table'[SHIP MONTH NUMBER], "MMMM")

 

but alas, I am still getting only January and December. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here? I don't use FORMAT often, but I feel like my syntax is correct. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

@Sean I can't believe I didn't realize this was the error. Thanks for your help!
