Hi all, I want to create a measure which displays last month in word format not number. Any help would be appreciated. e.g. the measure should return 'July' if it was used today.

You can make a measure with this expression

 

This Month = FORMAT(TODAY(), "MMMM")

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat

@mahoneypat thank you for your response, however I am trying to return last month, not this month. Any idea how I could go about this.
