Is it possible to use Short Month Name in TOTALYTD?

[LPenatti]

Hello everyone,

I've created a measure to calculate the total value of open cases year to date (until today), as shown below:

All Count Cases YTD = 

TOTALYTD(
    COUNT('Case'[CaseNumber]);
    'Case'[CreatedDate].[Date];
    FILTER(
        ALL('Case');
        'Case'[CreatedDate] <= MAX('Case'[Today])
    )
)

Everything worked fine:

Table data

The Column CreatedDate is formated as Date and has hierarchy:

CreatedDate as hierarchy

My problem starts when I try to show only first 3 letter of the month in table.

To do it, I created a new column in query, using following M formula, based on column CreatedDate:

#"Nome do Mês Inserido" = Table.AddColumn(#"Colunas Reordenadas", "MonthName(mmm)", each Text.Start(Date.MonthName([CreatedDate], "en-US"), 3), type text),

My column is formated as text (maybe here is the problem, dunno).

When I try to use this column in the table the measure get lost:

All columns are in the same table, because of that I thought they'd be related each other, but don't.

Is it possible to do what I want? If so, what's the right way to do it?

Thank you.

@LPenatti ,

The month-only date is not in date format, you need to convert to date format from text like below:

#"Nome do Mês Inserido" = Table.AddColumn(#"Colunas Reordenadas", "MonthName(mmm)", each Date.FromText(Text.Start(Date.MonthName([CreatedDate], "en-US"), 3)), type date),
