Month Name

Hi All,

 

I have created a direct query to display month. But it is displaying in numbers.

This is the query i used : "DATEPART("MONTH" , [AxDB].[dbo].[CUSTINVOICETRANS].[INVOICEDATE]) as Month,"

Actually i need it to be displayed in name, like JAN, FEB & MAR so on....

Kindly suggest a solution.

Then you can try adding a conditional column with if [MonthNo] = 1 then [MonthName] = "JAN" for every one month.

In Direct Query mode, all direct format approach with DAX/POWER QUERY will not work. You can only use SWITCH() to get the Month Name as @ausrine suggested.

Hi @Manivannan,

You can do it manually, using:

MonthName =
SWITCH (
    Table[MonthNo],
    1, "JAN",
    2, "FEB",
    3, "MAR",
    4, "APR",
    5, "MAY",
    6, "JUN",
    7, "JUL",
    8, "AUG",
    9, "SEP",
    10, "OCT",
    11, "NOV",
    12, "DEC",
    BLANK ()
)

Cheers,
