How to get month name from month number in Power BI?

Question

I have Year number and Month Number in my data. How using DAX can I get the month name out of month number?

In SSRS it is very easy. But how to achieve that using DAX?

Answer 1

• We can use :

MonthName = FORMAT(DATE(1, [Num], 1), "MMM")

• We need a simple reconstruction of a fake date from the month number provided, and reformat it with the FORMAT function.

• As an alternative, we can go the old-fashioned way and write a SWITCH statement and hard-coded for the 12 months. It's up to you.
